ballydehob

Ballydehob (Bal an d Chab in Irish, meaning "The ford of two rivers") is a village in County Cork, Ireland. It is located on the coast about 30 kilometres (20 miles) east of Mizen Head, Ireland's south-western tip. It has a reputation for housing artists and craftsmen. The village's most famous former inhabitant was the wrestler Danno Mahony. He won the NWA World title from Jim Londos in Boston on 30 June 1935, and was known as the "Irish Whip" in celebration of his famous throwing technique. One of the many pubs in Ballydehob is named after him, and there are plans to erect a statue in his honour. Ballydehob was the centre stop for the Schull to Skibbereen Light railway, which was opened in 1886 by the West Carbary Light Railways and Tramway Company and closed in 1947 by CI. The 12-arch railway bridge over the river still stands, and is possibly the village's most prominent feature.
