  1. Old Schools in this District

    Share Share Post
    There was a school situated in the village of Parkroe where a barn now stands. It was owned by Mr William Kelly. It was a very wide school. The teacher who taught there was Mr Richard Lyons and all the scholars who went to that school are all gone. Some of them are gone to America and other countries. It was also thatched and was not like the schools of today in any way. All the schools of that time were made of rough sand and stones.
