  2. Top-Making

    Share Share Post
    There was an old man in Clonmellon he was aged about eighty when he died and he used to make tops for the boys for spinning. He would take a big round piece of wood and carve it into a top. His name was Mickey Donnelly.
    He usually got a few coppers for each top. He lived on the Killallon Clonmellon road and the house he lived in is now completely a ruin. He died about seventy years ago.
