 The following meaning of the word noggin also appears in the English Dialect Dictionary, ‘the clay and sticks, or bricks used to fill the interstices of half-timbered houses’.This is a more likely explanation of ‘sallynoggins’; in other words, sally-rods may have been used in the construction of the houses.There are playing fields on either side of Sallynoggin Road with a clubhouse for St Josephs Boys AFC football club on Pearse Road.
