Cont from Part 2
The previous article "Story of Athy Road", which was published in Carloviana 1953, the author refers to maps in the story but they dont appear in the original article therefore I have provided some copys of c.1800 OSi maps of Athy Road for your reference.
GURLEY’S PLOT DANESBY is. built on what is marked on the map of the district as Gurley’s plot, and forms part of the Shaw estate. The Captain Cary, I have mentioned above, came here to reside on his marriage to Miss Fitzmaurice of Springhill, and named the house "Clovelly,” as he was a Devonshire man. He later exchanged houses with Mrs. Aylward and went to live at “The Elms.” Mrs. Rodgers, a step-aunt of Mr. G. B. Shaw, also resided here, and the late Mr. T. H. O’Donnell (father of Mr. H. O’Donnell, Solicitor) resided here on his retirement as Manager of the National Bank. It is now the residence of Mr. Gerald Brennan
