    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/27993114@N08] Absolutely! Though the silky top could give with a bit of an iron...
  • Swordscookie said:
    NLI yer wicked! I was thinking the same but wondered if ironing silk is that easy - or was way back then before computerised electric irons? Interesting that they had an enterprise like that in a city. Interesting that they have/had a Railway Square on that side of the river given that the railway is on the Kilkenny side or in "Christendom" according to the google map? Does that make my friends from Waterford benighted heathens then????

    Swordscookie Oh, steady now! I'm half Waterford... ;) I'll be posting a pic of the stables themselves shortly, so keep an eye out.
