    That's Newbridge station between Kildare and Sallins, looking eastwards. Interesting photo, the buildings haven't changed that much.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Ciarán Cooney Aha, so that's why I was having difficulty finding "Kilbride" station! It really hasn't changed. So used it be called Kilbride??
  • Swordscookie said:
    I was looking at the location and trying to think when I ever saw a railway line near Kilbride. I may be mistaken but I don't think there ever was one???? Doesn't matter anyway that is a good shot of Newbridge and it looked like that any time I passed through it.

    Swordscookie And don't suppose you know where the barracks was? (Link above)
  • Ciarán Cooney said:
    I've always known it to be Newbridge, I checked wiki history and there's no mention of Kilbride, but I don't know! There's the large barracks in Newbridge town, which I presume the soldiers are coming from. This is roughly the site of barracks today.

Dining Room, Elise Sandes Soldiers Home, Curragh Camp

    Funnily enough a quieter room than the reading room. The prices are almost certainly in £sd and d's rather than s's in an army mess. These would probably have been snacks and optional extras as the soldiers would have been on rations which they would have eaten in one of the dining rooms in the Curragh Camp. No mention of time NLI or did the clock escape your eagle eye on this occasion??? 14,00 hours I make it? What is the dapper civilian doing in the other ranks coffee room?
  • Stuart said:
    Those prices would be in pence, as in £-s-d. Presumably, the cost of eating in their canteen was subsidised?
  • philip ward said:
    From my days in uniform I remember there was all ways somewhere other ranks could purchase extra food , drinks/tobacoo products etc. after their daily duties,usually subsidised.So I bet those prices are in pence. The 16th July 1916 being a Sunday would explain why these privates are present in the middle of the afternoon.

    Swordscookie Did spot the time, but didn't want to inflict my obsession on ye all! :D
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    philip ward Thanks for reminding me about the Sunday thing. I've decided from now on to always add the day of the week to the Date part of each photo's description, and to tag the day as well. (Will have to do some retrofitting!) That way we can all search for photos on here by day as well as date, and who knows, the data could be useful...

    My detective work tells me that this is the building that is now Mulligan's Pharmacy - the bit with the sign saying "41 - Surgery".
