This one reminds me of Warrenpoint or somewhere round that neck of the woods.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Sharon Corbet I think you have it. I see from your streetview that the obelisk is in Corry park.

Margaret Donald said:
Notice the VR (Victoria Regina) over the keystone, marking the reign in which a public bulding was built & put over every public building when I was a child (EIIR by then) "Designed by architect H A Wilshire and constructed in 1839 as a result of a competition organised by the NSW government architect. The dominant feature externally is the circular heads over openings, the most significant being the horseshoe shaped entrance which draws attention to the heavily moulded timber gates. The original governor's residence is at the right of the gates and is largely obscured by a large tree, but the gaol itself is easily visible to the public." (From www.check-in.com.au/Northern_Rivers/Grafton_Gaol.htm ) No doubt a terrible, terrible place if the notes on prison reform (ABC below) are anything to go on. www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2005/20050711_supermax/pr...

boy... hasn't it changed !

I beg to differ the construction date of the gaol in the above post by MargaretsFamily. I refer the website www.clarencehistory.org.au/timeline.html The timeline indicates 1893 the Gaol was opened. I also have a similar photograph as shown here and, on it it clearly states "1893".
