Hi Listers, Old and New. I am still interested in hearing from anyone who may have information about the following places in Co.Laois. Ireland. The names of the places are: BALLICKMOYLER ARLESS BALLYNAGALL COOPER HILL Anyone who may have stories, tales, photos or postcards about these places. Family names who lived or worked in these areas. Industries associated with these villages in the past. Anything at all that will help me build up a picture of what life was like in these areas during the 18 and 1900's. 1. There was a Brass Band in Arless in the 1920's, what happened to it? 2. There was a Tile Factory in Arless, but where was it located and how big was it? 3. Where was the stone brought from for the building of the present Arless Chapel? 4. There were Dancing Boards in Arless in the 1940's, but where were the Boards located? 5. What year was the Technology School ('Tech school') built in Arless? 6. Where is the place known as Ballickmoyler Upper located (mentioned in Griffiths Valuation)? I have searched every map that I can lay my hands on but have not found this location printed on any map. These are just some of the questions I have about this part of Co.Laois. I hope someone will be able to help me with my work.
