  1. Local Roads

    Share Share Post
    One of the oldest roads is the Coach Road. It leads to Dublin and to Sligo. It is so long made that the date cannot be found out.
    It is still used as it was tarred a few years ago. This road passed by Drumfin a few yards from our house, it sends out branches, one into Riverstown and one off to Branchfield. At this crossroads where it sends out branches dancing was held on the road long ago.
