  2. A Burning

    Share Share Post
    About 17 years ago in 1921 Annaduff hall was burned by the Black and Tans about 4 o'clock in the morning. There came two lorry loads of soldiers and threw a bomb on it. A neighbouring man was going to the fair of Longford. When he saw the flames he dropped dead. People say he died with the shock.
