GOLDEN HOUSE CHINESE RESTAURANT

As it was Christmas Day when I photographed this Chinese Restaurant I did not get the opportunity to have a meal there - maybe I will visit the next time I am in the town.

Street names in Trim are often unusual and interesting.

The Haggard was the small field where wheat, oats and barley were stacked and where the threshing took place. The Haggard was the centre of farm life activity in the autumn.

Collins English Dictionary describes Haggard as follows - “Haggard – (in Ireland and the Isle of Man) – an enclosure beside a farmhouse in which crops are stored. Related to old Norse Heygarthr, from hey hay + garthr yard.”

Many believe that this word may have a Scandanavian or Norse origin.
