  1. In Strokestown long ago there used to be a lot of goods made such as rope, nails, buckets, iron, pots and pans. Nails were very cheap. The cost of a cut of nails was three pence and a man would only get 11/2 d for his days work and a man would be at his work at six o'clock in the morning. There was also a brewery in Strokestown down in the Demesne. There is a river which to Bumblin. In the demesne there is the ruins of malt houses and the brewery was out at Bumblin.
