020 | [situation] About 1/2 Mile South from Kilrenny. A small fishing town situated close to the sea, it is supposed to have received its name from cellars where the fishermen used to stow away their fishing tackle etc. and the dykes that were built to prevent the sea from washing in on the cellars, hence Cellardykes; the fishermen used to reside at Kilrenny, and at that period called their shed[s] Nether Kilrenny, which name the town receives at the present time from a great many people in the locality. It formed one of five boroughs at one time in sending a member to parliament, [but] a dispute arose in 1828 among the Bailies, which caused the town to be disfrachised. Mr. James Fowler is the interim manager. Its whole revenue is about £50 per annum, which it receives for room under Town Hall, Shore Dues, etc. The only remarkable thing on this trace are the Harbour and Fish Sheds; for further particulars refer to the descriptive remarks of the adjoining trace. |
