  1. Local Fairs

    Share Share Post
    Fairs were held in Dromach, Crosstown and in Barraduff.
    Dromach fair was abandoned because the tolls were too high. The toll collectors charged the same for two year old cattle as for yearlings. This led to a fight between a man known as Long Con Connor who owned a farm in Glencollins and Leader who was a toll collector. Owing to the fight the fair was abandoned.
    Crosstown fair was discontinued because no cattle were brought there and it was too far away from any town.
    Rathmore fair was discontinued because no cattle were brought there. A pig-fair is held there once a month now.
    Knocknagree fair-field was owned
