The Swanzy Riots: Compensation Claims
This database details over 300 compensation claims made by residents and businesses in Lisburn in the wake of the Swanzy Riots, 22 August 1920. As claims had to be lodged within three days of the damage, many families or business owners who fled the town may not have had the opportunity to submit, so the database may only present a snapshot of the actual damage. Further, households or businesses may have submitted a single claim covering damages for multiple people. The total compensation claimed was £840,595.61, with £206,419.08 paid out by the Northern Ireland Government.

| War Pensions Committee, | War Pensions Committee | Market Square, 29 | pre 03.09.1920 | Unknown, perhaps none | LS 11.2.21 p. 6; LH 12.2.21; valuation returns; | The LS 11.2.1921 p. 6 and LH 12.2.1921 refer to a claim (see above) by Miss Louisa C Allister (owner) and William George Connor, furniture dealer and manufacturer, (tenant), arising from the destruction of 29 and 31 Market Square. According to this, “In the upper part of the premises rooms were let to a War Pensions Committee and a photographer.” I.e. the name, occupation and the address ‘fit’ VAL-12B-8-9Q-M00003-4 and VAL-12B-8-9S-M00004 have Louisa Allister as the immediate lessor in 29 and 31 Market Square. George Connor took over 31 Market Square, a shop, ground floor offices and yard, from Thomas Pelan in 1920. John McBride had offices on the 2nd and 3rd floors of 29 Market Square from 1912. The War Pensions Committee had offices, 2 rooms, on the 2nd floor either from 1917 or 1920. There is no sign of a claim for compensation. This appears to be a different organisation from the Comrades of the Great War which had a club on the other side of the square above Todds'. | ||||||||
