- About fifty years ago there was an old forge at the end of Philip Glynn's house. It was worked by his father Pat Glynn and when he died it was worked by Philip's brother Pat Glynn. Each of them did a great trade at the blacksmith's work. When our fathers were going to school they used to get spikes made for their tops in Glynn's forge. There is no trace of the forge now.
