- There was two public houses one in Clareen owned by Mrs Tooher and one by Mr Johnny Edgill at Longford Cross.There was a Police Barracks in Oakley where John Kinahan lives presently.The old Cross of Clareen was on the lane near Joe Kennedy's gate, at the style leading to the river. A road led up through Kennedy's yard. The mark of the road can be seen through Little Churchland. The road to Clareen to chapel was made about the time of the Famine.
There was a road, a continuation of "the lane" up behind priests garden that came out through Coughlan's yard to Loftus' Bridge.
