There is a record at the NIAH which agrees with the beachcombers source: occupied for just 10 years until burnt in 1642, after which the nuns moved to Athlone.

A Madonna statue of bog oak from the convent survives in Galway: poorclares.ie/our-lady-of-bethlehem-athlone-madonna

The building was featured in a full-page article in the Evening Herald (Dublin) Thursday 24 December 1992.

Last year. Poor Clare nuns from around the world visited the ivy -clad ruins in Co Westmeath when the order celebrated the 350th anniversary of the flight of the nuns who escaped to Galway by taking to boats on Lough Ree.

It also mentions the Streven family, on whose farm it stands, who had cleared the ivy and received many letters from nuns who had visited.

Foxglove Me too! I notice the boy with the white collar on the right is carrying a basket similar to the one my Dad used when he was working on the the railway. He would carry his lunch and necessities in it with his "journals" where he noted the accounts of the times and places he would go to!

Now Pearse Street According to mullingarhistory.wordpress.com/mullingar-town-council-blogs/, Earl Street appears to have been named in honour of the new Landlord of Mullingar, Colonel Greville, who had purchased the town in 1858. In 1920-21, streets were re-named after patriot dead and other suitable figures.

We see the gable of #18 at right, built in 1870. If it was built, we would see the bay window of 20-22, built around 1890.

Nice flying snail hat.

I wonder what it is. It looks like a 121 except that they don't have a middle window facing back, and if it's facing forward, there'd be another window on the side before the big window. Where are all the usual rail bods? Edit: It looks like some had windows facing along the hood and others didn't. B132, seems to have one, for example. irishrailwaymodeller.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6294 And 124 seems to have windows in some pictures and not in others. Anyway, I now pronounce this to be a 121 class locomotive looking three quarters rearward.

The 121s had middle windows facing back (back is actually forward on the 121s - running cab forward is reverse). The windows were plated over as part of a cab upgrade in the early 2000s
