'PIGS'ON THE OLD BACON FACTORY WALL A big thank you to Cora Cummins who has painted pigs on the site of the old Bacon Factory wall, to mark our links to one of our main industries in the past. The pigs look great, cheerfully brightening up a dull wall. Thank you too to Eddie for very generously power hosing the wall down. You will see the pigs as you leave Cappoquin heading for Lismore, on the left hand side of the road.
