Historyedit
Pre-Famine Periodedit
Prior to the famine, the Wood family, from Yorkshire, settled in Tallagh within the Mullet region, and held the townland next to the river. Erecting a hunting lodge adjacent to the river, situated south of the present bridge, referred to as the "Teach Mor."[3]
There is a tradition that they had a salmon net across the river with a cord leading from the net to their dwelling nearby. Whenever a salmon was ensnared in the net, a bell rang in the dwelling. They cultivated an area of land along the river near to Muingnalee, where they grew oil seed and was given the name ‘Park na Rapa’.[3]
Annie Brady's Bridgeedit
In 1841 a road running from Glenamoy to Carrowteige was approved and eventually completed in 1846, but no bridge was erected over the river. People could ford the river using an unsafe paving. During the Great Famine and following years, this river ford became the parting point between the emigrants and their families.[4][3]
Annie Brady was the wife of the Inspector of Fisheries for the area, she decided to raise money to build a bridge at the site to help people to travel in safety. The bridge was built in 1886 and swept away by a flood in 1933. It was then replaced by a new structure still present.[4][3]
