“The land around is rather poor except in farms which are now well cultivated.”
(ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)in the Poor House in Cork. He spent his money in racing and gambling, kept race horses, and a hospitable house was well liked but got broken and had to sell his place to a Hosford man. The story goes that Popham left in a donkey cart. He also and his predecessor employed a great number of hands. A few of the man around remember their fathers working for 5d -10d a day. The work was not so hard except in the harvest time when they had to mow many acres of hay and corn with a scythe. They lived on Potatoes and milk and "yellow" meal. If they went to markets or fairs they got 1/2 loaf of bread and a pint of porter which cost only 1/2d.
As time went on that is more than 50 years ago. These gentlemen got into money difficulties and sold part by part of their lands.
The locality was considered an orange stronghold and it was their boast that from Gurranes bridge to Bandon bridge the land on either side of the road belonged to Protestants. There is one townland on the N.E. of Gurranes - Moneens - where there is not even one Catholic farmer, there the Woods Goods and Bradfields still hold sway.
