    and all the merry making town, full many a feast did fill, The stormy sea alsong it b roke and since that fatal day, the buried city never worke, beneath that bright blue day, and now they say that it doth lie, beneath its shroud of foam, and to mourn their ancient city's loss, the peasants love to roam, and often in the eventime, those phantom streets they say, are seen beneath the tranquil waves of Bannow's broight blue bay.
    I've roamed through many an Irish scene, where nature fairest dwells though woodland scenes and valleys green, through mountain, lakes and fells, but fresher far my memory keeps, one place more loved than they, Where Bannow's buried city sleeps beneath that bright blue bay.
    Written from Mrs Synnott, Brandane. Aged 80. July 1936.
    This poem has been handed down through generations and is sung to modification of "the harp that once". Its lines enshrine the tradition that Bannow's city has
    been buried beneath the waves. It is believed that the city "lives" one night annually in all its glory

  4. The Local Landlords

    CBÉS 0876

    Leathanach 084

    There were two landlords in the parish of Bannow in olden times namely, Major Boyce of Bannow House and Mr. King of Barrystown.
    There were two evictions on Major Boyce's estate during his reign.
    He was a very good landlord in his time. He was grandfather of the present Mr. Boyce. In one eviction he gave the farm and land to strangers who came into the district.
    Mr. King was a very cruel landlord on his tenants - he made them pay high rents and if they weren't able to pay it he used to drive them out on the roadside and they would have to go to some foreign country with their family to earn their living.
    Bannow Island was not joined with this district. Me. Colclough was the landlord who lived in Tintern.
    He was considered a good landlord.

    Leathanach 033

    About a mile or so West of Grantstown and on the shore of an inlet of historic Bannow Bay the ivied ruins of a Church and some of those castles are sprinkled over the green landscape.
    Their story is linked with the Augustinian House at Grantstown, the scene of J. K. L's Novitiate. One may get a glimpse of those ruins from the train as it passes Wellington Bridge on the Rosslare - Waterford branch of the great Southern Railways. We learn from the old records that Clonmines was once a populous industrial town. Judging by those old scattered remains one may well believe it. It's colonization was attributed to the Danes after they had firmly established themselves in Wexford & Waterford. Their selection of this was due to valuable mineral ore which they discovered in the neighbourhood.
    At the time of Strongbow's landing in Bannow Bay Clonmines was a strongly - fortified industrial centre. Frequent mention is made of Clonmines in the State Papers. Its special

  8. Farewell to Bannow - Supposed Reflection of Defending Emigrant

    CBÉS 0876

    Leathanach 007

    Farewell to thee Bannow forever,
    The home of my childhood adieu,
    Since fate has decreed it to sever,
    Thy emerald hills from my view,
    No more on the Banks shall I wander,
    Save only in thought o'er the sea,
    and mine shall no heart ere be fonder,
    Dear Bannow, my birthplace of thee.
    ii
    The foaming Atlantic's dark
    dangers,
    I must wander o'er to seek rest,
    A home in the land of the stranger, Remote in the far distant west.
    But the beautiful star-spangled banner,
    Whose folds have so long sheltered me,
    I ne'er can forget in a manner,
    Dear Bannow, forever and thee.
    iii
    I am sad when I yield to reflection The bright scenes of youth fill my mind,
    And fast flow the tears of affection, For friends I am leaving behind. But memory will bring them around me,
    When I'm in the land of the free, and brighten the ties that have bound me,
    My dear Bannow, my heart is with thee.

About May or June in the slack time the man would draw "woar" and heap it on it. They they used cover it with a thick coat of Bannow sand and leave it to mould away.

    Long ago there were many schools in the district of Bannow. There was a school in Scarview which a large number of pupils used to attend. After a while the children got scarce and the school was no longer needed the teachers left it and there was no school held in it anymore.
    There was another school at Morans

    The school fell into disuse after a while and there was never any school there after. The school was sold to people who turned it into a farm

    The village school-house on the hill doth still appear in view
    As bright and beautiful, as when I bid my last adieu,
    Those homeful scenes are passed and gone, alas! to come no more
    Yet recollection brings me back to Bannows Lonely shore.
    v
    When on my pillow I recline ina foreign land do rest
    The thoughts of Bannow's lonely banks still throbs within my breast
    When silent sleep steals o'er my brow then fondly I explore
    The shaggy rocks that still abound sweet Bannows lonely shore

    vi
    Now to conclude and finish up I will lay by my pen,
    May Heaven's beams shine down on those, who on those banks do dwell
    May happiness favour reign till time shall be no more,
    As when first I saw the breath of life on Bannow's lonely shore

    Bannow's Lonely Shore
    i
    To Bannow's lonely banks I often took my way,
    To view the crafts of smaller size glide swiftly o'er the sea
    The birds all on that lonely beach their sweetest notes do pour
    But wandering still my heart doth cling to Bannows lonely shore
    ii
    On these lone banks I often sat to view the flowing tide
    The swelling breeze, the gentle bark, that oer the surface glide
    The sea birds dismal notes do pour but all those joys are o'er
    Yet recollection brings me back to Bannow's lonely shore
    iii
    And the boys with whom I used to sport when sparkling o'er the green,
    Their smiling features I behold but the seas rolls wide between
    Their graceful forms I still retain through sadly I deplore
    When I cast back a wandering glance to "Bannows Lonely Shore."

    And now I am leaving in sorrow
