The Coach House
From Ardpatrick (1978) by Fr John Fleming:
“As you journey towards the dark presence of Blackrock you meet, shortly before turning right towards the Greenwood, the home of the Misses Davis. Looking today like any ordinary farm house in the area, it gives no indication that in the days of the stage coaches it was the stopping place for the stage coach from Cork to Limerick. The very condition of the road also gives little evidence of the fact that less than two hundred years ago the road from Limerick, through Kilmallock and Ardpatrick was in fact one of the main roads to Cork.”
