    [Aside] 1685 was an important year for music. Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti were all born in 1685. www.bachsocietybrasil.com

    Wikipedia has an older 1545 map showing how soggy it was ...
    See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Cork

    Edit - that Wiki page also has a 1714 map which marks the 'rectangular green area' as "Bowling Green".

    Hi Cardwellpics Many thanks for your comments- yes from the feedback that we have received we are planning to add more information to some of the images. For some of the pictures we have no more details than appear on the site, and we are encouraging past and present students and staff of the LSE to comment on the pictures so that we can gather more background knowledge.
