    Reminds of all the stories back in the day of planes landing at Shannon Airport for refuelling and then being held because of fog. Limerick didn't have enough hotels so people could get sent out to Kilkee. Including Che Guevara! kilkee.clareheritage.org/people/che-guevara-in-kilkee

    " ... By the end of the nineteenth century, it became necessary to replace the original Penrose Quay terminus with a larger station, Kent Station, which opened on 2 February 1893. ..."
    [Aside] - "The station served as a filming location for the 1979 movie The First Great Train Robbery starring Seán Connery, Donald Sutherland and Lesley-Anne Down."

    This 2017 GoogleMaps screen grab is remarkably close to Mr French / Lawrence's point of view, going by the chimney positions relative to each other -

    Finbar Furey the singer went to school there and has a funny story about the place. The family are settled members of the traveller community and lived in south Dublin. While the lads were at school some friend from the music industry visited his father in a beautiful Rolls Royce car and explained that he was setting off to tour Ireland a visit other traditional musicians in their homes. That would involve going up some narrow roads with the grass down the middle and would pose a threat to the paintwork of the Rolls. Mr. Furey proposed loaning them his battered BMW for the trip and the guest left his Rolls for the duration. As it was end of term Mr. Furey went to collect his offspring at Newtown School in a gleaming Rolls Royce. The sight of this well known settled traveller rolling up to collect his family in this symbol of wealth and luxury was a sensation.

    Opened on the afternoon of 4th December 1907. "The distribution of prizes and medals for proficiency in religious knowledge took place simultaneously." (Waterford Chronicle Wednesday, 4 December 1907). The article refers to the new Mason and Lady Lane Amalgamated National School.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Suck Diesel Thank you for that. Some of these men may well have worked on the school...
