    Wow! When I think of all the times I sat in traffic looking down that expanse in both directions I can hardly believe that it could be so empty! I wonder what the booth in the middle of the road was for????
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Swordscookie The Streetview is surprisingly empty too. (If you ignore the parked cars.) The little booth has been replaced by a bus stop.
  • Swordscookie said:
    Sharon Corbet So it has! The lovely colonnaded building on the right below is the courthouse. On the far side of it was the RIC and later Garda Station but it was set well back and hidden from view here!

    Degnan's Drapery is on the right - and here they are in 1901 and 1911.

    The only folks known to eat garlic in town, were made live in that hut. Superb shot! Love the hut design. So empty! Where is everyone?

    This one says "Crypt in Jigginstown Castle." Is that the same as House? - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000576851

    "... It was constructed in the late 1630s when Ireland was under the reign of Charles I (1625–1649).[5] At the time it was one of the largest buildings in Ireland, and the first to be constructed of red brick: the plans provided for pavement and columns of Kilkenny marble. ... - From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigginstown_Castle
    Situated on the Newbridge road is the Jigginstown building. It was built in the seventeenth century by the Earl of Strafford who was Viceroy in Ireland. He built it so as to have a mansion suitable for the King in case King Charles ever came on a visit to Ireland.He got the bricks from Denmark. a legend tells us that he had his men lined from Dublin to Naas and they passed the bricks from one to another till they arrived at Jigginstown. It is about one hundred and fifty yards long. There are many underground cellars in it. Before it was finished the Lord Deputy was called over to England and was beheaded formaking friends with the Irish. A legend tells us that in one of the cellars is a spring well which used to supply the house with water. It is said that there is gold buried there and that a black dog minds it. There is a tunnel leading to Killashee from Jigginstown.

    The basement is walled with mortared stone, lit by mullioned windows and roofed with brick vaulting while the main floor is walled with brick and lit by large, timber framed windows. A central spine-wall (E-W) supported pitched roofs to each side. Massive brick chimney stacks rise from stone bases in the basement, and have wide fireplaces lined with very small red bricks. from a hard to link record on the buildingsofireland.ie map
