Coal
Coal was discovered near Cornwall in 1843
when a hunter's dog scratched the black fossil from a badger hole. It
wasn't until the railway from Conara to St Marys was opened in June 1886,

to the economy of the Fingal Valley and still is today.

For many years the dairy

gone with only derelict and crumbling buildings to remind us of that by-gone
era.
