Post 1823 Letter from William Hull, Lemcon, Skibbereen, County Cork, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, referring to his former letter, emphasising the need to provide a simpler and less expensive means for the lower classes to recover small debts owed to them. Encloses, in support of his claim, a document entitled ‘ “a Manor Court Decree” taken by Richard Connell against Edward Butler, both of Kealfada, County Cork, demonstrating that the legal costs far outstrip the amount of the original debt; decree originally signed by John Sweetnam, seneschal [of Aghadown and Schull Manors], 4 October 1823.

Historical Maritime Input to West Cork Economy

 

Historical Maritime Input to West Cork Economy, 16th February 2019

1834 Grand Jury Presentments Barony of West Carbery, West Division, Magistrates, Cess Payers, Contractors, Road Works.

West Division, West Carbery, Contractors, 1832, 1833, 1834.

 

 

There are frequent reference to new lines of road. At that stage Richard Griffith and Alexander Nimmo had completed their grand roads from Skibbereen to Crookhaven, Skibbereen to Bantry via Letterlickey Durrus, Ballylickey to Castletownbere, Glengarriff to Kenmare partial, Crookstown to Bantry over Cousane Gap.  These road unlike the Grand Jury roads were built to  a very high engineering standard with robust bridges, all the more remarkable given the primitive state of equipment.

 

In the road contractor shere apart from the landlords they were a prosperous network up to now hidden from view.

In other presentments from 1800 onwards for the area between Kinsale to Skibbereen there is huge work on the roads network to link the interior of West Cork to beaches and  sand quays.  On the Red Strand outside Clonakilty there could be up to 1,000 horse and carts a day drawing sea sand for fertilizer.

Many of the secondary bridges were built between 1790 and 1820.
