- Pipe Making in DroghedaThere was a family named Cahill living in the Potato Market in Drogheda who used to make clay pipes. When they had the pipe clay shaped into pipes they put them out on trays in the sun to harden. You would get a dozen pipes for three pence.
Some old men say they were the best pipes they ever smoked tobacco out of. There are no clay pipes to be made nowadays.
