  1. Old Crafts - Broom-Making

    Share Share Post
    A woman named Mary Mahony lived in River Street. She always sold brooms made of heather. For this reason she was called "Mary the Brooms." She gathered the heather on the Castle Hill. On fair days and market days she got great demand for the brooms.
