  1. An Old School

    Share Share Post
    The ruins of old schools are to be seen everywhere. About forty yards from Glostermin school lies the site of an old school. It was built by a man named Mr Murphy in the eighteenth century for the education of his children. It was thatched and had no seats like today. The books were not like those of to day. They wrote on slates or with feather pens.
