  2. The Local Landlord

    Share Share Post
    The landlord of Benison Lodge was Mr Roper. He used to live in Benison Lodge House where Mr O'Neill is now living. The family lived in this district for four generations.
    They were looked upon as fairly good landlords, but the agents were very bad at that time.
    On Benison Lodge estate there were several evictions carried out on Bratty Road. Tom Shanley, Peter Muldoon, Pat Rafter
