      The next turn on the left led. off the Main Street at the Big Tree Public House at the end of North Street. This road led to Balheary. No houses on this road near the town.
      Starting from the south again; on the right side from O'Tooles Pub, the first turn was a small Cul de Sac, with about six cottages, called John's Lane. Next turn, Malahide Road. Walshs, Pump Contractors, had a cottage and store yard on the right of this road, and further on a large gentleman farmer's residence in its own grounds, Sneyds, a big Protestant farmer.-
       
       
      Next to Sneyds was Longs of Malahide Road, a big farmyard and nice residence and gardens. Nicholas Long leased all Colonel Foster's lands, and had many acres of his own adjoining his house. His fields, called Barry's Pax', were often used for football matches. A considerable amount of his land was rented from Colonel Foster on the eleven months system, that is for only eleven months of the year, excluding the month of May. During this month, there was greatest growth of grass. He let people of the town graze their cows in milking fields at a small weekly amount per each cow, usually one cow for each family.
