Its 364 full colour pages and 315 images, maps and photos has been described as a &lsquo;search for the olden days on a sixty-mile journey through 275 years of time&rsquo;. The road in question is from Ballyduhig outside Listowel, through Castleisland, the western and southern parts of Duhallow including Millstreet and on through Aubane and Vicarstown, to Kerry Pike outside Cork City. It was built as a Tollroad/Turnpike, under a 1747 Act of Parliament, by a John Murphy from Castleisland.
