    I am sure there is a dog in there somewhere, but for the life of me, I can't find it!

    Michael Collins was there, Account in Michael Collins' hand of his capture and detention in Sligo Gaol.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    It held few prisoners by that time and was closed the following year
    “The Gaol’s ‘panopticon’ or ‘all-seeing’ design centred around the Governor’s House, from which the cell block could be observed at all times. Both prisoner and guard were underconstant surveillance. The internal design was intended to allow for air circulation around
    the buildings and its inmates, in order to avoid the spread of disease and sickness. There was separate accommodation for men, women, criminals, lunatics and children.

    Rack & Ruin You beat me to it.

    Catholic Standard - Friday 31 January 1958:
    Actually the newsprint used in THE STANDARD is from Clondalkin Mills and Irish timber. It is just as satisfactory raw material thanks to the technicians who produce it anything coming from Canada or the Scandinavian countries.
  • Marcel & Rrose in Infrathin said:
    I just realised from the tags that it's not Clondalkin Paper Mills, but I would guess that the poles were there as fodder for the mill.
  • Marcel & Rrose in Infrathin said:
    I worked there around 1971/72, so my memory of it would be very fuzzy. Further perusal of the tags suggests they are poles that would have been used by the electricity board as electricity cable carrying poles on the streets. Duh!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Rack & Ruin John Spooner I think that you are both right and that the caption is incorrect. My experience of both ESB and P&T pole fields was that they were of varying length and a lot more higgledy piggledy tha those neat piles! The poles had also bee soaked in preservative and were smelly!

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I have been trying to work out the geography, and cannot see the Round Tower close by (unless it's behind the trees), and what I thought was Orchard Road (where I lived), might not be it.
