carcases

Hey! I was there just last week and took a rake of shots but did not try that POV. Nice one Carol.

The cathedral is gorgeous, designed by Pugin it is beautifully decorated inside.

Swordscookie Pugin was a busy chap! And you might at least let me know your travel itinerary in advance of departure. Then I could check photos, and you could snoop around while you're gallivanting... :)

A great wee bit of history in this. Do you know whether they were successful in their attempt to get lower rents - or does the title of this mean they were evicted?

Vab2009 No other information yet, but would love to find out more information about the Plan of Campaign in the Mitchelstown area, the landlord(s) involved, and would die happy if anyone knows about the O'Sullivans in particular...

And two doors down is the local cop shop! There is a very good article on Wikipedia on the plan of campaign and it appears that the Tipperary and North Cork areas were deeply involved. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_of_Campaign The Plan of Campaign was a stratagem adopted in Ireland between 1886 and 1891, co-ordinated by Irish politicians for the benefit of tenant farmers, against mainly absentee and rack-rent landlords. It was launched to counter agricultural distress caused by the continual depression in prices of dairy products and cattle from the mid 1870s, which left many tenants in arrears with rent. Bad weather in 1885 and 1886 also caused crop failure, making it harder to pay rents. The Land War of the early 1880s was about to be renewed after evictions increased and outrages became widespread.

Welcome back Carol, hope that you had a very good time and are now fully recovered and raring to go??? Congrats on reaching the 1000th

Yes indeed congrats on reaching the 1000th-now to the next thousand items of interest from the past!

It hasn't changed much at all.

Talk about a small affair? What a tiny crowd at a market in a town in Ireland, there are barely 100 people in the whole square and there's not a whole lot of produce on sale either. The pile of clothes behind the young lad with the bit of a stick appear to be uniforms with bright metal buttons and there is little else for sale in evidence. Compare this with the shot of the market in Galway a couple of months back? I found this copy of the same image in colour on Google! www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&safe=active&sa=N&...

Swordscookie Ahhh, that would be a colourised postcard from Lawrence Photographic Studios. Did I add the link here from last week's blog? All about a researcher "going places" with our Lawrence postcards...

Cuddly Nutter Any of the businesses here still on the go? Duffy's, Moville Hotel? And I think shop second from left is Merger's! Is that a plausible name?
