    Does anyone have any old photos of the Ballygorey, Mooncoin area?

    (Ballygorey is between Mooncoin and Carrigeen).

    The house I own used to be a shop, and I'd love to have an old pic of it, or even talk to anyone who remembers it.

    Thanks

    Andy

    For old pictures you could try the Kilkenny Archaeological Society in Rothe House in Parliament Street in Kilkenny. They have a Library in there with loads in it.

    We looked at that house years ago to buy it!! I'm originally from down the road!

    Will ask at home about pictures. I remember the shop well. The counter was higher than Mary was tall!! She was a tiny woman.
