Fowl Market in Durrus District:

 

In the 1930s near the former Wiseman’s store a Fowl market was held on Thursdays where Sullivans from Dunmanway bought available produce.  About three weeks before Christmas the area of the present Garda Station was the scene of a turkey market where Messrs Lyons of Bantry bought whatever was available.
