Hi ,

I know it's a while since this post was active but I found a few items that may be of interest.   An advertisement on an old shop in Inchigeelagh ( about 18 miles from 70Farran) and also an aution catalogue from July 1970 which I found recently, for the sale of contents of Clarke's House at Farran.   I remember my parents attending this auction.

Thanks again Mary, the sale catalogue looks interesting, I recently found one for the sale of paintings at Allerton Hall, Liverpool, by the estate of Capt W R Clarke's father Thomas Clarke, in 1926.  That catalogue was marked up with initials showing that a lot of the items were bought in by members of the family - any such indications on this one?  I've collected a few old Clarke Tobacco signs!
