- Most of the travelling or going about long ag was done on Horseback. messages were sent thus too. The men were good walkers but the women stayed at home and didnt compete with the men as they do today.
Boats were used too by those people living near rivers. Then carts and of course later horse cars and then the Mail Coach, which travelled from Dublin North South East and West.
The Mail Coach passed by here on to Sligo. This was a stopping place and the horses were changed here too.
