- The Two Tailors of GrangeTwo brother tailors lived once at Grange Cross. Their names were Johnny O Dea and Maurice O Dea. They did not agree and each did his best to injure his brother's trade. Johnny O Dea put his name over his door with the words = "Late of London" after his name. Not to be outdone his brother put over his door a board with the words "Maurice O Dea - Never in London"John Clancy Carpenter
