    Crom a Boo, known to Historians as the war cry of the Fitzgeralds. but to every Athy person it means just one thing - the graceful humped-back bridge which spans the River Barrow in the centre of the town. On the 23rd May, 1796 the first stone of the new bridge was laid by Robert Duke of Leinster. Crom a Boo Bridge while still in its infancy was to witness many cruel acts. Trial by Court Martial was a common occurrence in Athy during the months of May and June 1798. Seven men were tried, convicted and hanged in the town in the early days of June. ----- Frank Taaffe, Athy.

The place was owned a man named Hefferan, and so situated that anyone approaching could seen long distance off. When the police arrived a quantity of grain only was found on the premises, but the still and other articles used in the manufacture whisky were found concealed in the bog-holes around. Two arrests were made.
