Place & story
A supply route from Youghal
Samuel Lewis reported in 1837 that Clondulane parish had no bog, making fuel scarce and expensive. Most came from Youghal: lighters carried it to Tallow, followed by an overland journey into the parish. His account does not identify the fuel itself, so the route should not be treated as evidence of a particular coal or turf cargo. He also recorded limestone being worked for buildings and road repairs on both sides of the Blackwater. [2]
