  1. Old Shops
    There were two shops in Ardfield Chapel Cross about sixty years ago. One of them was owned by a woman called Kit Hickey, and the other one which is now owned by the Cochlans was owned by two sisters named Mary and Ellen Hodnett.
    Miss Hickey used sell buns called halfpenny tackers, and other small groceries. And the other people used sell penny puffs, sweets and a little groceries. At play-hour some of the children used go to these shops and buy a puff or a tacker.
