  1. The Local Roads

    Share Share Post
    There are several names of raods on my district. Here are some of them. "Grannies Hill" this road leads from Bawnree to Carlow. This road got its name from a woman that went by the name of Granny McArdle that walked to Dublin to buy a pot and came back the same day.
    "Bawnree Road" - this read leads from Leighlin to Castlecomer. "The New Line" this road leads from Paulstown to Castlecomer.
    "The Old Road" this road leads from Bawnree to Paulstown. It is a very old road. It is supposed to be made since 1820 it is the oldest road in the district.
