    “During a snowstorm of some years ago the Mail bar which had come from Mallow to collect the mails got stuck half way between Liscarroll and Churchtown.”

    During a snowstorm of some years ago the Mail Car which had to come from Mallow to collect the mails got stuck half way between Liscarroll and Churchtown. The driver thought it would be better to go to Churchtown and phone to Mallow but he had to turn in to a neighbouring house in order to warm himself. He and another man went to the village and phoned for another car.
    A car was sent from Mallow to try and relieve him but it got stuck too
    The mails were very later next morning
