Ballycroy was once a hopping hive of industry and decadence. Established in 1820 by Irish immigrants, its population dwindled after the rail route directed in favour of Palgrave. The Ballycroy General Store and post office, apparently built in the 1830’s, is now a private residence. Photo credit: Lisa Rance, June 2011
