Havent been down manor way for years but I suspect that it is going the same direction as a lot of towns whereby "smaller" buildings are being knocked to make way for multi-storey buildings.

It would be sad to see buildings that are steeped in history and tradition being bulldozed.

But then again that is why there is a register of protected structures in place thereby protecting the most valuable of buildings and structures

Not really. I stopped off an odd time while on my travels and I recall getting rotten drunk in it years (and years) ago after a football match. Cant remember much about that night

Feeney's is gone, the old log cabin no longer.

I knew it was closed but what has happened to John and Anna.
Farrels, my god when Lough Allen College (Drumkeerin) got their most recent principal, Stephanie Gibbons, they changed the uniform from the normal blue, to a green thing with a logo, this could only be purchased from Farrells.

Is the video store still there.
