    Presumably replaced by the monstrosity that is now the Department of Social Protection's offices that deal with those who are sadly homeless?

    g.co/maps/snzxy yes it was replaced by quite an ugly building which is probably listed now!

    A threshing machine in action (Dad's Army) youtu.be/a71PxWHm1HA?t=16m38s
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    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!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner Thank you for that John, my sides are sore from laughing!
  • John Spooner said:
    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.
