Place & story

Camolin Park, 1935

On 14 January 1935, Wexford County Council discussed a road through Camolin Park, north of Ballyduff, shortening the existing route from Camolin. The Land Commission offered £500 towards works costing at least £1,000. Councillors sought £750, offering £250 and future maintenance. Most of the route crossed Forestry Department land. These minutes record a proposal, not its completion. [2]
