    Viscount Fitzgibbon died at the battle of Balaclava in 1854. The statue originally intended for the Crescent but due to sentiments at the time was placed here at what was Wellesley Bridge. Wonder where the cannons are?
  • Thomondrow said:
    This bridge was originally known as the Wellesley Bridge. It was completed in 1835. The bridge consists of five large elliptical arches. Once a swivel bridge that could open allowing large vessels to pass into the upper quays such as Arthur's quay this function is no longer in use although the mechanisms can still be seen under the bridge. On the bridge is a monument commemorating the 1916 War of Independence. Which replaced an earlier monument on this site of Viscount Fitzgibbon who was reported missing in action after the Charge of the Light Brigade in 1854. The statue was blown up by the Irish Republican Army in 1930.

    In Streetview you can see the same bridge, the building with the arched roof, and the new statue. Bing Bird's Eye view

    Is this the photo mentioned in this article in Freeman's (Sep 4 1884)?

    John Spooner Could well be... Imagine what William Lawrence would say if he knew how his photos here on Flickr would have such a "large general circulation"!

    Most useless dating evidence ever: in 1880 Mortimer's Plymouth Dyeing Works had already been established for 106 years, according to this advert in The Royal Cornwall Gazette Falmouth Packet, Cornish Weekly News, & General Advertiser (Truro, England), Friday, October 22, 1880
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Here is the OS 25" map at GeoHive surveyed in 1898. The DIA says the National Bank (now BofI) is from 1866.

    And in the interest of balance, from The Dundee Courier & Argus (Dundee, Scotland), Saturday, August 15, 1896:

    and from The Yorkshire Herald, and The York Herald (York, England), Monday, November 04, 1895

    1901 census, Main Street: McCarthy is there, but no Gaynor, FitzGibbon, Corkery, or Curtin. There is a Dore, but a boarder and shop assistant, not a shopkeeper. 1911 Census, Main Street: James McCarthy is dead, but his widow Margaret is still in business. David Hartigan, shopkeeper, has a 10 year old stepson named Jerry Curtin. James Cahill has a 4 year old stepson named Cornelius Dore.
