  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
