Hogan (1880-83, 46) refers to a pre-1750 road called ‘Walkin-street’, which, ‘formed the principal entrance into the city [Kilkenny] from the numerous mansions of the Anglo-Irish families in the south and south-western parts of the country. This road led directly from Tipperary, by Ballymack, to Burnchurch, then to Ballybur, and thence to Inchihologhan, whence it ran into the city, over Poulgour bridge and down Walkin-street. The portion of this road which connected Ballybur with Inchihologhan is now closed up, but its course through the fields is still traceable on the Ordnance Townland Survey (sheet 23)’. The road is not apparent on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map. The precise location of this road is unknown.
