What is recorded here
Ulster History Circle placed a blue plaque near 23 Ribble Street, County Down, to mark the birthplace of Brian Desmond Hurst, the 1895-1986 film director. The distinction is geographical rather than architectural: the original house stood nearby, not necessarily behind the plaque. That small shift matters because memory often clings to a street corner before it finds the exact doorway.
