A stretch of roadway on the Lehenaghmore side of Spur Hill is home to 14 original homes nestled in amongst newer more recent builds. This is the first in a series of short articles which takes a look at each one and its place in Togher local history.
Denis Noonan was born in 1906 and would go on to become a member of the
Dripsey Volunteers during the War Of Independence. Hannah Lane was born in Togher in 1912 and attended
Togher National School. Her family home on Lehenaghmore Hill ( a.k.a.
Spur Hill ) would go on to become her own marital home when the two married
in 1939. Denis worked in St. Finbarrs hospital while his wife ran a
small grocery store at their home. The couple would go on to have five
children ; Dominick / Domie , Daniel / Donie , Margaret , Jim and Marty.
Marty would go on to serve on oil rigs with Kinsale Gas and his older brother Dommie would go on to join Irish Shipping
ltd. , serving aboard maritime vessels. Marty and his sister Margaret are the only surviving members of the family. Marty currently resides in the family home on Spur Hill.
