    Reading from the detail and looking up Streetview the town hall in the background appears to be gone now which makes it a bit harder to locate!

    John Spooner Thank you for that John, my sides are sore from laughing!

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons A quick perusal of the references to 'threshing machine' in Freeman's Journal suggests that Cpl Jones might have been lucky to survive the incident at 21:20. There are plenty of tales of gruesome fatalities from falling into the machinery of getting one's clothes caught. The lucky ones got away with an amputation. I realise that incidents which did not result in injury are not news, and only bad news tends to be reported, but with all those belts and wheels I think I would stand well clear of such a beast.

    “Carlow District Lunatic Asylum admitted its first patient on 7 May 1832 and initially served the counties of Carlow, Kildare, Wexford and Kilkenny, and the city of Kilkenny. The Asylum District changed twice: in 1852 and 1868, asylums opened to cater for Kilkenny and Wexford patients, respectively. After 1868 then, Carlow District Lunatic Asylum catered only for Carlow and Kildare patients. From the enactment of the Local Government Act, 1925, Carlow District Lunatic Asylum became known as Carlow District Mental Hospital. It became known by its current name, St Dympna’s Hospital, in 1958.”
