- (continued from previous page)The Local Roads.
There are many local roads in my district namely, The Baldoyle Road, Borrow field road, and Sutton Cross road. The Baldoyle road got its name because it lead Saint Dubhghall church. Borrow field got its name because it was a field with a path leading through it. About five years ago when the people around my district were very poor and when they had no money they got word to reap up the grass and so get a load of tar and make a new road. This road is in use now.
