The Bridge, Boyle
The Bridge, Boyle
Posted from Mainistir na Buaille in November 1952 costing 4d, Jack BF complains that whilst he is "still roaming around Ireland and England" he is "getting tired of the rain"! There appears to be some slight variations in the buildings compared to the Lawrence photo taken some fifty years previously. The Frybrook House gatelodge to the left of the photo has lost it's windows and is in a worse state of repair than the Lawrence version. The Coleman's Egg Exporters building has acquired an embellishment on it's gable end, as well as corner stones. Cunningham's Hotel also has acquired a new fifty's look modern name which goes right around the building. A further sign of the times are the additional electric wires and poles anchored on the bridge.

Cathedral Spire, Ballaghaderreen
Cathedral Spire, Ballaghaderreen
This image was taken to capture the impressive spire which along with a new sacristy and bells was added to the tower in 1912. The gable fronted cathedral, built in 1855 was designed by a firm of English architects - Matthew Hadfield William Goldie and J. G. Weightman. The 1912 additional work was designed by W. H. Byrne. Skilled craftsmen were employed to carry out the work on this richly embellished cathedral. In the 1970's the gardens, hedges and trees, which softened the stark architecture of the cathedral, were unfortunately removed to make way for carparks. The card was posted in Ballaghaderin from the Monica Duff Post Office.
