    Road at about Ardcarne, and there it turned away fom the railway line and went in a zig-zag manner to Carrick. The old road came up beside the present Carrick railway station and turned in towards Carrick town. Instead of going over the bridge accross the Shannon it took a turn to the right and went off to Dublin.
    The new road from Carrick-on-Shannon to Dublin was built entirely on the old road. The railway line from Carrick to Boyle was made in 1861 and was built for most of the way beside the old road. A man named Peter Daly of Ross St., Boyle who died recently often drove the Dublin - Sligo coaches along the old Dublin Road. From Carrick to Boyle the road is in comparative disuse.
