Michael Collins was there, Account in Michael Collins' hand of his capture and detention in Sligo Gaol.

It held few prisoners by that time and was closed the following year
“The Gaol’s ‘panopticon’ or ‘all-seeing’ design centred around the Governor’s House, from which the cell block could be observed at all times. Both prisoner and guard were underconstant surveillance. The internal design was intended to allow for air circulation around
the buildings and its inmates, in order to avoid the spread of disease and sickness. There was separate accommodation for men, women, criminals, lunatics and children.

Suck Diesel hanging took place up to 1903.

Another great photo. I've always wondered if the land and area where the new Eldon Square was built on was poor quality? Derelic housing, slums etc? I ask because how they poured concrete over the land was very dramatic! The original Eldon Square which was left alone is a lovely little haven and it would've been a shame if similar structures and land was decimated in the name of shopping..

amazing seeing the city you've grown up in from years past, many thanks, great work and very important too

Many thanks for your comments. I have to admit that this is one of my favourite aerial images - the view seems very familiar but when you look closely you can see so many changes.
