Ballinagoul, Ring in the early 50's. The image was taken by a
family member  who was home from america.



The bottom three photos, I took are of a turnip lifting/topping machine . Nioclás (pictured) remembers using it as a youngster. It was probably made locally by a blacksmith. click on the Images
