- The field back of Mr. O Reilly's shop. North Main Street, Bandon was called the "Bleach". This field was used for bleaching clothes. The clothes were brought from the tucking mill, that is where Mr Brennan has his mill at present. A Mr. "WHEELER" was the owner of the Tucking mill. The mill was used for making the clothes and the "Bleach" was used for drying them. The tucking mill was very small.
