The patient Heron lonely stands...

    Is it stuffed, or just 'resting'? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_heron - "In Ireland, the grey heron is often colloquially called a "crane" " "Roast heron was once a specially prized dish; when George Neville became Archbishop of York in 1465, 400 herons were served to the guests."
  • Niall McAuley said:
    An online lookup says Heron is Corr in Irish, and there is an Island called Corriveillaun on the 25", not marked on Google maps as such, it is here.

    This history page on Cromwell's Bridge nearby says Another interesting placename in the area is Corriveillaun, which applies to the woodland just east of the bridge. The name is marked on the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map, which was produced between 1897–1913. Given the slight phonetic similarity, “Cromwell” could potentially derive from “Corriveillaun”, which is evidently an Anglicized name but our research has not uncovered the original Irish version. One possibility is “Currach An Mhaoilinn” meaning a bare or flat-topped marsh. A more likely possibility is “Currach Bheithe Lán” meaning “full marsh of the birch”. The latter makes sense when we consider that downy birch trees commonly grow in the wet woodland along parts of the Glengarriff River.

    I was curious about the ABC Tearooms. Not a branch of the British Aerated Bread Co. chain whose tea rooms were a major feature of many towns & cities from the late Victorian era through much of the 20th century, but rather a cafe owned by a Cork businessman Alfred Cole books.google.ie/books?id=zomQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT8&lpg=... and his family. Cole was in partnership with an Alcox & a Brown in a Cork grocery concern, thus the ABC Cafe, as we see in the French photo. In the O’Connor photo we see that it’s a tearoom - one has to suspect that the inspiration might come from the chain restaurant.

Before the arrival of Eurovision I imagine?
