  1. An Old Custom

    Share Share Post
    Near the town of Ballybay there is a lane. It is called the "Dressing lane". The reason it is called by this name is long ago the women going to town would carry their shoes and when they came to this lane, they would sit down and put on the shoes. This would save their shoes and they would last a long time.
