- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)to the Patrician monks down as far as the old hospital.Soap and candle factory
A Mr. Delaney had a soap and tallow candle factory in Main Street. He was succeeded by a Mr. Nolan who had a bakery there. Mr. P. J. Delaney next bought the place. His wife and sons are still there.
Tallow candles were made at the convent for its own use only. A tallow candle was the only light used by the people up to about 1865 – no other candle could be god. People got them from the shopkeepers who were supplied from the local factory in part at least. When my historian made his First Holy Communion in 1862, he had a tallow candle. A parafin one could not then be got.
