Yes SS it is a Morris Minor.

i'm from listowel & never heard of it being called 'main street' - that was always called 'the small square'

any other listowellians agree?

Hello PINKYIRL and welcome to the Listowel Forum.
I am a Listowellian living in the USA.
It is known by both names.
I think if one was from the countryside they would know it as "MAIN STREET".
If you were from the town you would know it as "The Small Square".
Are you from the town?

snow scorpion

Damn! Quiet in here, too.

Maybe after the holidays settle down we'll see some more activity.

Guess what has just arrived in MAIN STREET? The premises previously known as Changes is now occupied by a local office of the Kerryman. I shall acquaint them of the existence of this and the Ballyb. thread and hopefully we will see a more diverse and lively debate in 2006. Happy New year to all the old Listowellians.

*goes to look at a map of Listowel to find Main Street*


EDIT: Ah, Main Street is between Market Street and The Square. I've walked past where The Kerryman office is.

Another old view of Listowel:

probably from Ballygrennan

Why do you think it is Listowel? I can't see anything to identify it as Listowel.

I'm waiting for my next visit to Listowel, after the doldrums of the new year. Probably in 3 or 4 weeks. I've never seen Listowel in the frost, nice photos I'd say.

SandhillRoad

Bring a chair, a homemade sandwich, some Farley's Rusks and a Nash's Lemonade.

Enjoy and remember.



Are your speakers on ??

Are there any websites out there where we can find more about Listowel and it's people? I have heard a Listowel man (Cyril Kelly who lived in Church St) many times on RTE Radio. You can access past episodes of the programme.When I think of the programme name I will post.Maybe someone can help me with this.
