- There was a landlord living in Creagh long ago. His name was Colonel Knox. He owned the town of Ballinrobe and the land adjoining it. He was very cruel to his tenants and any one that did not pay the rent the day he ordered he evicted them. There was a line of houses along the road. One day he evicted all his tenants. Then he ordered all the houses to be tumbled down that day. The only sign of life was a poor unfortunate goose who was deprived of her nest.
