  1. Old Roads

    Share Share Post
    A byway near my home in Rochestown - which is called Rochestown boreen,- was made in the Famine times, to give work and help to the poor famine-stricken victims. For payment they got a gallon of Indian meal to feed their hungry families. It leads to the river Suir.
