roscrea

Excellent shot but looking at the machine and the dress you would imagine that it was much earlier?

Swordscookie Relatively secure on the date - think because of the quality that this shot was just taken off the cuff by the photographer. On the same date, the photos from the monastery are much more conventional, of dignitaries at the Monastery, etc.

looks incredible!

Wow... it is an amazing image!!!

Unearthly, impressive.

Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

Streetview OSI 25"

www.boards.ie/b/thread/2057471670 says that the market house was built in 1886 and was demolished in the 1920s.

B-59 More colourful perhaps but not a fraction of the charm of Mr. French's work!

The fountain is now in Rosemary Square Streetview S. also www.roscreathroughtheages.org/jim-larkin-visit-to-roscrea...

Streetview of Main Street, with the Garda Station on the left.

FI 9658: a Tipperary North reg from near the end of the series: FI 1 to FI 9999 (Dec 1903 - Jan 1958).

Niall McAuley So it is Main Street, thanks a million!

The street lighting looks pretty feeble, one lamp strung on a wire across the road. This was before the yellow Sodium lights, too, so there would have been one puddle of white light and a lot of shadow.

I owned a 1960 Ford Thames 100E van in the sixties. We use to put an old bus seat in the back for the passengers and had the two small rear windows enlarged. (you could buy a kit to do the job) In 1964 I drove the van from London to Donegal via Fishguard/Rosslare. 10 hours from London to Fishguard. Lifted on and off the ship in a net. Another 10 hours drive from Rosslare to Donegal. Not bad for a small van with three forward gears and a top speed of around 60mph.. flic.kr/p/6Ntg5H
