Hmmm,I daresay double oh seven is referring to a house, that is in fact opposite St Geralds on the other side of the road with a wrought iron gate and a short driveway leading up to the house which was, as i recall the second house up from Mangans. Mcmanamanns lived out further just past the border of Blackfort, and the begining of THE Newport Road proper ,Neary's grocery store`was smack dab in the heart of Blackfort, and unless our colleagues in MI5 unearth the identity of the occupants,nil fhios agamsa!.There's also an interesting house on the other side of the road, right opposite, with an imposing concrete wall, a curving driveway leading to the house, which was obscured by the wall,lots of trees, and a high ditch with more trees on top of it, that bordered both sides of the upper end of Burn's hill. Now i assume the house is still there, as i hav'nt been up that way for a couple of days.
