Main Street, Newbridge, Co. Kildare by National Library of Ireland on The Commons
Via Flickr:
I think this is the first non military / non railway photo of Newbridge we have ever posted. There is a lot going on here and I think the megazoom via the catalogue link below is worth a look. Our eagle-eyed contributors have spotted a motor-car (possibly a Ford) further down the hill - which perhaps puts this image after the mid-1900s. There's a suggestion also that the man riding from the barracks is in military uniform - narrowing the range perhaps to before the mid-1920s (when the barracks was demilitarised). The 40-year range in the catalogue could therefore possibly be narrowed to a 20-year range earlier in the 20th C.... paulcooke3 of the Newbridge Local History Group comments that their research puts the date around 1916 and we are happy to go along with that. Photographer: Unknown Collection: Eason Photographic Collection Date: Probably c.1916 NLI Ref: EAS_2515 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie

Parliament St. Kilkenny by National Library of Ireland on The Commons
Via Flickr:
Parliament Street in Kilkenny is one of the last photographs for this week. Tall buildings with a selection of ladders, tall, medium and small, a donkey with churns on the cart and children to put a smile on our faces! Apart from the men with the ladder (believed perhaps to be associated to the "S Costelloe Builder" signage seen closeby), much of today's conversation focused on the date range for this Lawrence Collection image. In particular, though the catalogue range implies a date of c.1880-1900, based on the businesses, buildings and (in particular) posters visible, we're actually probably looking at a scene from c.1903-1909. Our eagle-eyed contributors highlight a news poster outside Power's stationers. It seems to refer to a "Universities Bill", which is probably the bill which was passed to become the 1908 Universities Act.... Photographer: Robert French Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection Date: Catalogue range c.1880-1900. Though possibly c.1905 (perhaps <1908 given mention of "Universities Bill" on news poster) NLI Ref: L_ROY_07894 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie

Athboy, Co. Meath by National Library of Ireland on The Commons
Via Flickr:
We begin the week with a scene from the town of Athboy in the north of Royal Meath. Here it is dominated by its COI church tower, with the other end of the town marked by a castle built by Hugh deLacy. A market is in full swing - waking the town from its slumbers! Photographer: Robert French Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection Date: between ca. 1865-1914 (though likely after c.1890) NLI Ref: L_CAB_08693 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie
