    Share Share Post
    The names of the local roads are Creighanroe road, Keady and Castleblayney road and the old Keady road.
    The Creighanroe road leads from the old Keady road to the Keady and Castleblayney road. The Keady and Castleblayney road leads from Castleblayney to Keady. The old Keady road leads from Castleblayney to Carnagh.
    The old Keady road and the Creighanroe road were made in the year sixteen hundred.
    The Keady and Castleblayney road was made in the year eighteen hundred.
    The local roads are still used.
    The men only got about sixpence a day for making the roads.
    There were fords across the rivers. There is a cross-roads in my district and people gather to it to talk.
