    Obviously Limerick had changed a great deal by the time I was growing up in the late '40's and '50's so it is hard to put a location on a road with so little distinguishing features. From my memory this reminds me of the main road out through Corbally towards Co. Clare. This is where I think it is and is near the famous rugby academy "St. Munchins College". The Clare Brigade of the IRA were very active about this time and the area to the north of here was a stronghold of their operations!

    Probably tough enough to locate this one. All the candidates on the OSI are main roads which have been widened since, so all the distinguishing features are gone.

    Having said that, there's a not dissimilar bit of wall on the R463: www.google.ie/maps/@52.687788,-8.604284,3a,75y,227.18h,90...
  • Swordscookie said:
    That is on the same road as I was suggesting above Lemur and I think we are probably both right as to the road but the exact spot is a lottery! I remember that the stone wall seemed to go on for miles along there and was connected with the bridge across the Shannon nearby!

    5 November 1968 was a Tuesday . . . Can we blame Guy Fawkes?!
  • derangedlemur said:
    Might be some bit of marshalling kit, what with the looped chain in the middle and the row of wheel ratchets on the rail.
  • derangedlemur said:
    It doesn't line up with the map very well. Maybe if it was flipped, though it's still not great even then. There may be some map between the Cassini and the modern that we need.

    All about lard including what lard bladders are - "pigs’ bladders, dried, inflated, and filled with lard".

    There's a description of a visit to the factory in 1866 here.
