- The Making of Cooneal Road
20-10-'38Long ago, this road from Lisglennon to Mrs. Traynor's, in front of this school, was only a bridle path, and Mr. Brennan of Knockduff Grand, father of the present Mr. Brennan Knockduff, took the contract of making this road, which is about three miles long. He did this road himself and his sons and he earned about fifty pounds. The wages at that time were very small, and they only got about four pence a day.Margaret Keegan
