- About a hundred years ago there lived in Newboro Kilconly Captain Blake a land Lord. He had a very big family. There were no bicycles motor cars, or trains at that time. If they wanted to go a long distance they would go by horse-back or run it.
These people had a man working for them, by the name of O'Reilly from Castlegrove. This man ran at least once a week into the Galway market for fish and never walked a step. This is a distance of twenty one Irish miles and he often did it in two hours. He wore no shoes.- Collector
