A Ghost Story
The well was covered in by a few men from the Corporation. The boy lived in Killiney Paddy Fox 8th Class
From Mr Fox. Age 53 years
5 St Patricks Ave
- Churning
About fifty years ago when there were only a few roads in Dalkey a great many people had small farms. Some of them had only a cottage and a small field but they had poultry, pigs and cows in it. Most of them made their own butter and also made their own churns. The man of the house would get a barrel and clean it well. Then he would make a lid and put a hole in the centre. He would put the dash into the hole The people who had churns and no cows would buy milk form the big dairies and make butter. Paddy Fox 8th Class
