Great to see-( later Cumberland Square Birr ) very pertinent to my family history! Date would probably be in the later years--my bedroom window when staying with grandparents (many years later!!!) would have been the fourth from top right!!

It's now Emmet Square "Cumberland Column, Emmet Square, Birr, County Offaly Freestanding ashlar limestone Doric column, erected in 1746, mounted on an ashlar pedestal with plinth and cornice. Located at the centre of Emmet Square. Lamp posts to each corner and protective cast-iron bollards surrounding platform. Formally supported statue of the Duke of Cumberland which was removed in the early twentieth century. Plaque inserted to pedestal reads: 'Erected by Birr Town Council to commemorate the bicentenary of the execution of Robert Emmet 1778-1803. Emmet Square was renamed in his honour in 1922. "When my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then and not till then, let my epitaph be written", R. Emmet.' " www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&...

O Mac Owen, I think the Post Office is on the other side of the square.

A local photographer who documented Birr at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries was George Morrison of Cumberland Square, Birr. 21 photos of his are held at the UK National Archives in Kew, including ones with such intriguing and tantalising descriptions as "Photograph of John's Place, Birr. Bread cart opposite Mrs Boner's", "Photograph of John's Place, Birr. Two boys on roadway near Dr Stoneys, No 7 Johns Place, Birr", "Photograph of the coffee bar Leinster depot, Birr barracks" (although the copyright for this one belongs to Edward Morrison). I haven't got a visit to Kew planned, but I'll put them on the list of things to see next time I'm there.

Is this photo scanned backwards? The original handwriting on the glass plate image is reversed, -or so it seems.

CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY It looks the right way round judging from the buttons on the tunic of the soldier scratching his chin near the sentry box.

Is it possible the tents were temporary until barracks and administration building were constructed?
