Terrace houses can be grand mansions or two-up two-down properties without pretensions.
Yet, somehow these homes convey the same sense of solidity, whether they are in Belgravia, Bognor, by the sea, in a village, or in a market town.
These qualities are among the reasons for the deepening love affair with terrace houses in which one quarter of the population already lives, with more aspiring to join them.

Donaghadee Harbour 200th Birthday Celebrations Set for August

Plans are afoot to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the building of the present harbour at Donaghadee, a small port on the north coast of County Down, but unearthing the Time Capsule, buried 24 feet below the pier during construction, will not, according to the
County Down Spectator newspaper, be possible as the whole harbour has Industrial Heritage designation and Listed Building status which prohibits any disruption to the original structure.
The Bicentenary of the harbour will, Covid 19 restrictions and budget permitting, take place in early August this year. The port lies on the opposite side of the North Channel about 13 miles from Portpatrick on the Mull of Galloway in Scotland.
