The Down Recorder is a weekly newspaper published in Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland every Wednesday. It is owned by W.Y. Crichton & Co.[1]
History
The paper, then known as The Downpatrick Recorder, was first published on 31 December 1836.[2] It was the first newspaper to be published in the town, and was owned by Conway Pilson, the son of a local historian.[1]
At that time, news from London and abroad came by boat to Belfast in the evening. However, the boat rested for 12 hours at Newry, Шаблон:Convert from Downpatrick. Pilson organised a horse relay to bring the news from there so he could publish it before any rival papers.[2]
The paper was renamed The Down Recorder in 1878 to reflect its wider circulation.[2]
In 1964, the production moved from the original offices in Irish Street to a former Post Office building on Church Street. In 1966, the actually printing was moved to more modern facilities in Portadown.[2]
