Scope and content
Letter from William Woodlock, Vickery’s Hotel, Bantry, County Cork. The letter provides detail of his trip to Counties Cork and Kerry. In relation to Bantry, Woodlock wrote ‘Nearly all the names over the shops are English: in fact, it is hard to think one is in Ireland at all, with Kingstons, and Coopers, and Taylors, and Murrays, and Robinsons. The Papists are making a footing, for I saw the name of Moriarty over one of the best shops in the place’.
