    Reading from the detail and looking up Streetview the town hall in the background appears to be gone now which makes it a bit harder to locate!

    John Spooner Thank you for that John, my sides are sore from laughing!

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons A quick perusal of the references to 'threshing machine' in Freeman's Journal suggests that Cpl Jones might have been lucky to survive the incident at 21:20. There are plenty of tales of gruesome fatalities from falling into the machinery of getting one's clothes caught. The lucky ones got away with an amputation. I realise that incidents which did not result in injury are not news, and only bad news tends to be reported, but with all those belts and wheels I think I would stand well clear of such a beast.

    Shay Murphy Excellent! Don't forget to let us see it - and watch out for low-flying buses... :)
  • Tammy said:
    I would like to see the today shot as well. I am thinking there might be a lot of changes, but not sure....keep me posted please!

    Not sure what they were but they were hollow with holes across the top, as though they were vents for something below ground! I always like the monument and felt that the quote was a really powerful statement.

    “Michael Walker is in the centre - he was the 50-mile champion of Ireland at the time; the photo also has his brother John Walker, Richard J Mecredy (always known as Arjay; there's a photo of him here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Mecredy and a couple more on the cover of a recent book about him), Matthew Walsh and Bernard Doyle.”
