Subject: RE: Folklore: Odd pub names
There's a pub near Athy called The Bleeding Horse, built by the roadside where a man's gunshot horse finally collapsed under him as he fled an English massacre of 400 people invited to a peace conference in 1577. Or there was; I think this old pub may have closed during the recession. Maybe it'll be open again.
