- The Old Village of OldbridgeIt is said that the old village of Oldbridge was situated half way up the hill of Oldbridge. There was a gate leading into the village. The piers of the gate are there still. There were about half-a-dozen houses in the village.There was a big flat space in front of the houses in the old village of Oldbridge and it was known as "The Playing Field of Oldbridge". It is now known as the cow-field, and the road runs between the old gate and the playing field. Mr. Patrick Craven who now lives in Oldbridge often wrestled on the Playing Field and he was a champion wrestler in his day.Peggie McGuinness (Scoláire)Got from - Patrick Craven (aged 83)
