    Roundtown or Terenure as it's called today.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac Roundtown because of that roundy configuration at the 'V' junction?
  • O Mac said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons One would assume so! It's a pity little remains. In this Google Satellite view the only evidence is a curved car park boundary wall and the curved roof of one house on west side.

    Roundtown - " It takes its name from a circle of cottages near the cross roads, branching from Harold's-cross and Rathgar. " - roots.swilson.info/towns1848/roundtown.html . Fascinating how previous buildings leave their imprint on subsequent development, only seen in satellite photos. Like Roman roads in England.

    "...at Hickey's..." I belive the correct term is traumatic decompression haematoma.

    I knew a farmer once who would stay on "old time", in his case he ignored the one hour movements in March and October. British Summer Time was first established by the Summer Time Act 1916, after a campaign by builder William Willett. His original proposal was to move the clocks forward by 80 minutes, in 20-minute weekly steps on Sundays in April and by the reverse procedure in September. In 1916 BST began on 21 May and ended on 1 October.

    DannyM8 So do you reckon the bus service ignored the change in the hour then (presumably alongside other people like your farmer, or maybe to suit people like your farmer)?
  • DannyM8 said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons It seems that Old Time was a rural and farming practice. listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1303&L=seanchas-l... When the idea was introduced in Ireland it was adopted in the towns and cities, but not everywhere by farming communities. In the rural district in which I lived the newly-introduced summer time was called "New Time" but we had "Old Time" all year round. We had to be careful when planning to attend an event elsewhere; was it "New Time" or "Old Time"
