  1. The Old Corn Store.
    About a hundred yards from the square of Tallow is a large store owned by Mr.Jacob.
    Mr.Cunningham who was the first owner sold it to Mr.Jacob. In Cunninghams time it was a corn store, each year he sold about 4000 bags of corn at £1 each. He put them on lighters at Tallow Bridge as the river was too shallow there for large boats. The lighters took them to Janeville Quay and from there they were sent to France in large boats.
    Mr. J.J. Walsh, West St., Tallow, Co. Waterford.
