  1. Landlords

    Share Share Post
    There were two famous evictions in this part of the country. One at Watergrasshill known as Saunders fort, and the other at Castleview, Clonakilty, known as Tim Hurley's mill. His son Paddy is now employed in Clonakilty, working for the Clonakilty Bottling Company. Tim Hurley barricaded the mill, and a force of guards, and a smaller fierce of military came to disposses him.
    A poem was written about these evictions and it ended up with "Saunders fort and Hurley's mill will ever live in Rhyme".
