    The Hevey Institute, Mullingar?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Sharon Corbet That's it - well done!
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    It's now Coláiste Mhuire, Mullingar and they are renovating the building. Google Earth showing the Institute, cathedral and the train line.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    OSI Map which identifies the middle building as a "palace" and the one on the right as St. Mary's R.C. Church, rather than the Cathedral in Google Earth.

    I checked our trusty Irish Motor Directory and Motorists' Annual, and who appears in the 1912-1913 edition but the registered owner of IY 136 - one Major A. Owen Lewis, H.M. Prison, Mountjoy, Dublin...

    The corner shop at left was said to be "nearing completion" in 1909 in the Westmeath Independent, according to the NIAH
  • Niall McAuley said:
    As can be seen at the OS map link, this is Church Street further along, but the near end is Custume Place, formerly Victoria Place. Several of the shop owners can be found in the 1911 census: e.g Campbell, Farrelly, Fleming's Medical Hall is on Church St. proper.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Charles Fair, Solicitor, has a first floor office at left.

    Great photo. Took me a while to see the guys on the roof. Is that a black man on the far right of the group? Those water wheels are moving at a pretty good rate. I know it's a long exposure, but even so. My family were involved in the "http://www.offalyhistory.com/articles/83/1/Tanyard-Lane-Its-place-in-the-economic-history-of-Tullamore/Page1.html" target="_blank">brewing and distilling business in nearby Tullamore back in the 18th century. The Manlys were the predecessors of the Goodbodys and were in Tullamore from at least the 1740s. Members of the family are recalled in Thomas (Manly) Street and Henry (Manly) Street. I know they also owned a brewery in Moate, but can't find any other information. It's possible they also had involvement in Kilbeggan.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] No, it's not. He's holding what looks like a massive wrench type thing (technical term), so would imagine he was involved with engine maintenance, etc. And lovely that you can track family back to the 18th century!

    Niall McAuley And there you are! Running a little late this morning? Thought I'd actually have to get the location myself... :) P.S. Thanks
