  1. (continued from previous page)
    I expect that there will be more houses than ever.
    On the west side of the villagre lies a very large wood called "Blackwell's Wood" and near it there is a large bog in which the people of the parish cut turf.
    There is a famous song called after Cappamore knows as "As I was coming from the fair of Cappamore"
    At the back of the village flows the "River Mulkear" by which the creamery is driven.
    At the end of the "MainStreet" flows a tributary of the Mulkear which often causes the street to be flooded in wet weather.
