   It is about two hundred years ago since it was first built. It was built on a nice green bank, with a little lane leading into it, but now there is a ditch in its place. There are none of its pupils living now.

   There are the ruins of an old cornmill in the townland where I live. This was the second best mill in Ireland when it was working thirty years ago. The year in which the mill was built is 1838 - the date is cut one a stone in the wall. It is four storeys high, sixty feet long and twenty feet wide.
