  1. The Local Roads

    Share Share Post
    The local roads are known as the Mountain road and the main road. The mountain road leads from Keady to Castleblayney. The main road also leads from Keady to Castleblayney. The mountain road is the older road of the two. The mountain road was made about forty years ago. There are not many old roads in our district. There is a mountain pass to the road going to school. There is a river beside my home. There used to be a cement path across it but it is broken down now.
    At the crossroads a crowd of boys gather with bicycles and ride around them.
