Historic Comparison
Breda, a second year student of St Cuans College Castleblakney undertook a project on the History of townlands in her area in 1975. She was guided by her history teacher Mr Tim Byrnes and most of her information was obtained by her interviews with the elderly locals of the villages along with her Grandparents, John & Maria Lydon.
The short but detailed description of the house owners is a direct dictation of how it was recounted by the people she interviewed. Breda compared the houses and its residents from the late 19th Century up to 1976. She also gives a short background to the townland and landlords as it was told to her at the time. This is an interesting and valuable account of the people who lived in these houses. She also made beautiful colourful map drawings by hand, citing the location of these houses in the past and present. Please see attached document containing the full content of Project Local History .
We are very grateful to Breda for sharing this memorabilia with us. She has maintained it in excellent condition.
