JOHNS BRIDGE KILKENNY

A bridge 'designed for the Joint Committee of the Kilkenny County Council and the Kilkenny Borough Council by Mr. A.M. Burden

PHOTOGRAPHED IN AUGUST 2018 To be honest I did not get the opportunity to explore the immediate area in detail during my visit to Kilkenny in August 2018 but I hope to do so in 2024 when I visit in March.

#OTD in 1650 – Kilkenny surrendered to Oliver Cromwell.

The success of Oliver Cromwell’s Irish campaign during the autumn of 1649 caused further divisions in the Marquis of Ormond’s Royalist-Confederate coalition. With the defeat of British and Scottish forces in Ulster and the defection of most of Lord Inchiquin’s Protestant troops to the Parliamentarians, Ormond was obliged to rely increasingly upon Catholic support. Early in December 1649, the…

Carl and the Ferris Wheel!

Keith and I both love the Ferris Wheel. It has been my favorite ride since I was a kid. Since Keith and I have been together, when we have the opportunity to ride the Ferris Wheel we take advantage. “I love seeing the view of the town from the top,” Keith said when we took a ride last weekend during the Pawnee Prairie Days. When we think of Ferris wheels, we think of our friend Carl Davis…

IF (U): Splashes of Spielbergian Magic But Trying Too Hard To Please All Audiences.

#onemannsmovies #film review of "IF". #IFMovie, #ImaginaryFriend. A family film that's good fun but didn't blow me away. 3.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “IF” (2024). “IF” stands for “Imaginary Friend”. If in a year or twos time you are a parent picking a DVD for a sleepover, it’s vitally important that you don’t get this film muddled with either Lindsay Anderson’s “If” from 1968… or even worse, “It” from 2017! Of all the films previewed in the first half of the year, THIS is the one that all of my older…

Buckingham's Bones--Supposedly

Buckingham’s Bones–Supposedly

One of Salisbury‘s claims to fame is that it was the place of execution of Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, infamous rebel and possible killer of one or both ‘princes in the Tower‘ (that’s if they were killed at all.) According to legend he was held at the Blue Boar Inn/Saracen’s Head and executed in the courtyard of the same. His ghost is said to haunt the shop now on the site–formerly…

THE SON

Duke of York’s, London, Saturday 2nd November, 2019

French playwright Florian Zeller’s searing family drama – helpfully and brilliantly translated into English by Christopher Hampton – deals with the effects on young lad Nicolas when his dad leaves his mum and sets up a new family with a new wife and a new baby. It’s not an uncommon situation but Nicolas takes it very badly, spiralling…

GREAT VICTORIA STREET RAILWAY STATION

Great Victoria Street is a railway station serving the city centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is one of two major stations in the city, along with Lanyon Place, and is one of the four stations located in the city centre, the others being Lanyon Plac

BELFAST 2016 I only visited this station once and that was in 2016 and it was not a pleasant experience because of the lack of space. According to some that I spoke with it cannot cope with demand during morning or evening rush-hour. Great Victoria Street is a railway station serving the city centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is one of two major stations in the city, along with Lanyon…

Touring in Muscatine, the Pearl of the Mississippi!

In late March Jodi Hansen of Visit Muscatine hosted my husband Keith and I in their beautiful city. Muscatine is famous for its Pearl Button history and beauty along the Mississippi. Mark Twain remembered Muscatine fondly. In a marker at the Mark Twain Overlook there is a quote from him stating, “And I remember Muscatine still more pleasantly for its summer sunsets.

Yorke's Folly, or The Stoops, Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire

Yorke’s Folly, or The Stoops, Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire

High above the town of Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale stand two strange stone pillars which look like the remnants of some ancient ecclesiastical edifice. Until 1893 there was a third, and they were known as the Three Stoops, or alternatively as Yorke’s Folly after their begetter, John Yorke. They are often dated to around 1800, but they are actually some decades earlier, being constructed at the…

Remembering Stephen Yanor John Forrest Lanark 1962

Hi, I regularly enjoy your bits of local history. I recently recalled a tragic accident that happened on McIlquham’s bridge on the Ferguson Falls road by where Mal’s Camping is. A boy fishing on the bridge was struck and killed by a truck. I think it was likely the summer of 1962. I think his name was David Yaner(spelling might be wrong). Anyway I was thinking that remembering what happened to…
