  1. The Hungry Hall Road

    Share Share Post
    In Donore long years ago was a house in which there lived a very wealthy man. He had plenty of money but he never gave anything to the poor. Everyone hated him and the house became known as the Hungry Hall. No beggar dare call at his door. The day came when he was bankrupt and had to beg for his living. To the present day even the road is called the Hungry Hall Road.
