    Tanning.
    It is said that this industry was carried on in Dunlavin years ago, and that a tan yard extended from what is now Miss Nolan's garden through Rochford's garden.
    Some years ago when James Rochford was burying a beast that died he came on a paved channel at the foot of his garden.
    Two fields near Dunlavin Railway Station are known as the Upper and Lower Tan yard Fields. They belong to Mr. Edward Flood, Dunlavin.
