  1. Local Folklore - Travelling Folk

    There was a traveller long ago called Mrs. Brian. She used to gather bottles and raggs. There were travellers long ago know as the Hulligans. These people used to come to my district every week, and they usually used to travel in twos. They used to sell al kinds of articles, and they used to take flour and bottles as alms. These people used to tell a lot of stories about the village in which they came from.
