Ah lads can you not reduce the pic size?

I didn't realise that it would appear so large :rolleyes:. Anyways...right on. Overlooked by the Anglo-Norman Castle, if not the first then certainly one of the first to have been built. I always thought that the round tower was legit. Bummer when I found out the real history.

Next photo please

Same bridge (with tarmac added) that was there in 1798 as far as I know.

Yep; but not before 1787 when the original timber bridge was swept away during a flood similar to those in recent memory I warrant. It was built in 1790 by the (English) Oriel Brothers. It spans about 310 feet with 6 arches varying from 21ft 6ins at the banks to 32ft 6ins in the centre. Unlike the new bridge (Capt Weafer/Rafter whatever) it has stood the test of time and of better civil engineers than we obviously have now!

Yeeepee!! . Although I must admit I've never actually seen that landmark before I used my powers of deduction...is it an old lime-kiln Jay? What type of camera are you using?

Not sure if its a lime-kiln, I know the mine around it was a lead/copper/silver mine but has now since run dry apart from surface stuff that wouldn't be worth the time for a company to use.

I'm shooting with a Nikon D80

Well done Zerks...

It was part of the old Dublin road and once a year I would traverse it on my way to Dublin for the Christmas shopping to Hector Greys.
What amazed me was the amount of tyre/skid marks on this small stretch of road towards and on the bridge.

Not Ballycarney (R745 Bridge) - but right River and not a million miles away.

foolelle

try this one on for size

patff

are any of those lads related to Willie O'Dea?

That didn't take long - it's not captioned in the photo album but since he would have been staying at Kilgibbon, near Bree, I suspect that your right. I have a shed load of similar pics but sadly they are all heavily faded like this one. I think I may get some of them scanned to save them for posterity. I'll stick this one up just as an example but there's no way of guessing and its captioned anyway. I doubt anybody in the picture has any headaches now.

Nialloooo

looks like it could be enniscorthy, picture taken from riverside side or the river looking at the st senans side?? thats pic deadly in its own rights just for what it shows
