Sallynoggin was a rough area back in the day, when the Nogginers used to regularly meet up with the Ballybrackers and have a punch up. Things have calmed down. To answer your question I don't know the reason the place was called Sallynoggin. I could google it but I can't be arsed. Bakers is a nice pub and the only reason I drink in it is because my two original pubs have closed down and had apartments built on them and Bakers is the handiest one for me and I've been barred twice from it and I'm back in because new owners bought it recently. Just for you Wakey... Etymology[edit] The Irish Placenames Commission has researched the origin and meaning of Sallynoggin as a placename. In fact, the name is not Irish at all but English deriving from the "sally noggins" which referred to old timber-frame houses that were known to be situated there. The modern Irish word for noggin is the phonentic "naigín" hence "An Naigín" (The Noggin) as it is commonly called. More than likely this is a placename of English origin. Examples of the word naggin or noggin were collected in Hiberno-English, meaning ‘a wooden vessel’. The origin of the word is unclear to lexicographers. 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.
Aren't noggins used in roofing? I believe, and I may be wrong, that they are the long pieces that run laterally along the roof for the tiles to hang on.
No, they're laths, but noggins are used in roofing, they're usually horizontal bracing in stud walls and timber framing
