Down Memory Lane: Local People
The name Myshall “Midh Íseal” means 'low plain' and the village also
gives its name to the towns land and parish. The buildings which were
prominent when the village was planned in the 17th century are now
domestic residences, shops and bars but retain their charm of former
days.
