- In the year 1903 there was a very great storm of wind. It blew the zinc from houses to the sea. Trees were blocking the main road thoroughfare to Dublin. On the Skerries Road several trees were blown down and the walls that surrounded the wood were knocked in bits. It happened that a gardener of Kenure and other men were cleaning the road and he was struck by a tree and killed dead.
