- There was a family named Cahill living in the Potatoe Market in Drogheda who used to make clay pipes. When they would have the pipe clay shaped into pipes they would put them out on trays in the sun to harden.
You would get a dozen pipes for three pence. Some old men say they were the best pipes they ever smoked tobacco out of. There is none of these pipes to be made nowadays.
