Young people and man sitting on lock gate at Huband Bridge, Grand Canal, Dublin

    Streetview (-ish) - goo.gl/maps/YKnT8RkQWB22 Inexplicable coincidence - the lad on the left is holding a 'BEAT CLUB' LP vinyl record, and the lock-gate arm they are sitting on now has the graffiti "YUNG KESMO ON A BEAT", which is some sort of musical reference. Is this a musical corner of Dublin? It is a beautiful canal bridge.

    beachcomber australia That is a coincidence.

    The lovely Elinor went back in 1966 - she must have been fond of the bridge and who would blame her? See comments etc. ...

    Bloomsday, 16 June 1954 was a Wednesday ... VW Beetle bonnet?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Morning Mary, please clean your pince-nez and have a closer look. ;) That’s not a booth. That’s the carriage they’d been swanning around Dublin in (please excuse me, while I tuck away that dangling preposition).
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There were two carriages in this birds-eye view, and also from the street - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050506 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050374 Can anyone identify the American car behind the VW?

    beachcomber australia looks like a Chevy name badge, but don't know my models, some sort of land yacht, anyway.

    In Abbeyview 2009, we see that the wheel is gone, the wall is repaired and the cow has fecked off. On the 25" OSI, the building at right (with cow) is labelled Shanclogh Glebe House, with next the Church of John the Baptist, behind it Templemore or Cathedral, finally Clogans or Round Tower

    From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilmacduagh_monastery ... According to legend, Saint Colman MacDuagh was walking through the woods of the Burren when his girdle fell to the ground. Taking this as a sign, he built his monastery on that spot. The girdle was said to be studded with gems and was held by the O'Shaughnessys centuries later, along with St. Colman's crozier, or staff. The girdle was later lost, but the crozier came to be held by the O'Heynes and may now be seen in the National Museum of Ireland. ... It is said that, in the Diocese of Kilmacduagh, no man will ever die from lightning. This legend was put to the test when one unlucky soul was struck, but the force of the bolt made him fly through the air into neighbouring County Clare, where he died. ... The round tower is notable both as a fine example of this particularly Irish feature but also because of its noticeable lean, over half a metre from the vertical. The tower is over 30 metres (98 feet 5 inches) tall, according to measurements taken in 1879,[6] with the only doorway some 7 metres above ground level. The tower probably dates from the 10th century. See this old print at the NLI - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000544067
