February 28, 2017 by merrybeau Placenames – Jink’s Hill/Rathdown Road Karwik via Compfight Rathdown Road is know by older people in Greystones as Jink’s Hill. It is a steep hill and can appeared jinxed (unlucky) on icy mornings when cars skid, slip and slide. However the road gets its name because there was a family called Jenkinson (nicknamed Jinks) who lived in a cottage on the hill. Share|
