    Are the two worker gents wearing clogs?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ponehpony They are indeed! They may have been from Belgium or Holland. This factory (and large scale sugar beet processing in Ireland) was set up with help from a Belgian firm, Lippens.

    "James Warren Doyle, O.E.S.A. (1786–1834) was a Roman Catholic Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin in Ireland, who used the signature "JKL", an acronym from "James Kildare and Leighlin." Doyle was active in the Anti-Tithe movement. A campaigner for Catholic Emancipation until it was attained in 1829, he was also an educator, church organiser and the builder of Carlow cathedral. ..."

    I am not sure about the rules of chess, but the Bishop (and the Actress!) seem to have moved to a window.

    Odd, the Stations of the Cross #11 behind the statue does not match the ones in the modern shot above, but also doesn't match that Delany Archive shot. Nor is the statue in the same position in any of the 3 shots.

    Here's a Streetview from St Clare's Road at the centre - one can rotate to look down the twin roads of Pearse Road (with the grassed rectangles in the middle) and then rotate again to see the curving line of houses on Staunton Avenue: www.google.com/maps/@52.8399914,-6.9416993,3a,75y,104.56h...

    Modified herring bone pattern in field is for land drainage. What I can't see are the terracotta clay pipes. Maybe they have been laid and are awaiting to be back filled. The heaps along the headland look to be stone to be laid over the pipes.

    That's Graiguecullen GAA pitch bottom right - drainage works underway... And Carlow Castle is visible across the river in the background
