- (continued from previous page)butter was made in a small barrel which was resting on a block of wood. The churn could be turned.
Before the people took the butter to the market they washed it. To the Cork butter market they took it. There were two butter buyers in Cork. The house they were buying the butter in was called the "weigh house". It is known to day as the "Shandon".
The butter buyer put an instrument like a pencil into the middle of the firkin. It was in firkins they took the butter to the market.
