How the Tea Road got Its Name - The Tea Road Connects Cuskinny with Ballynoe Bridge  [duchas:4897640]

How the Tea Road got its Name ( The Tea Road connects Cuskinny with Ballynoe Bridge)


Long ago it was the custom among Landlords and wealthy people in the neighbourhood of Cobh to meet each other and entertain each other to tea parties. Now every Sunday it was the custom of the French Family at Cuskinny to visit the mansion of Lord Barrymore at Fota (or vica versa)  This entailed a long journey through the village of Ballymore. In order to obviate this the parties agreed to construct the present throughfare popularly known as The Tea Road.
