Abbey Street, Roscommon c. 1935
Abbey Street, Roscommon c. 1935
Posted from Roscommon in 1944, the sender notes that this "is the road up from the station" and that there are "3 churches, a courthouse and a library on the way". B. F. McLoughlin's hardware, general merchant's and spirit and tobacco supplier is the interesting shop, laden with baskets, buckets and brooms. He certainly seemed to embrace the new fashion of advertizing with the fine aluminium piece of street furniture for Walnut Plug & St. Bruno Flake tobaccos. The next terrace of houses, Georgian in style, sweep down towards the entrance to the Sacred Heart Church, just where the three people are chatting on the street, in the middle distance. The Masonic Lodge had its home on this street also. The second one storey house on the top right, was Curley's shop, and further along the street, where the break comes in the terrace was a stone mason's business house.

Merrion Avenue, Blackrock, Co.Dublin.
Merrion Avenue, Blackrock, Co.Dublin.
Merrion Avenue was developed as part of a landscaping plan for the Fitzwilliam estate. Trees were planted along the avenue and an entrance was created at the bottom of it. This occurred after 1704 when Mount Merrion House was built on 100 acres near Merrion Castle. Up until about 1800 Mount Merrion Avenue was left largely untouched. Houses were then built at the bottom of the avenue at Pembroke Terrace and later at Peafield Terrace.

Convent Schools, Roscommon c.1970
This is a colour photo postcard of the Convent Schools complex in Roscommon town taken sometime late in the 1960's. The stone building in the right foreground, is the original three storey Primary school opened in 1902, and reduced by one storey in 1964. A pre-fab building extends the Primary school to the left foreground all on the church side of the road. The buildings immediately behind that, are the convent Secondary complex, with the railway station "greened" out in the rear.

Dundrum Railway Station.
Dundrum Railway Station.
William Dargen designed this station and it remains today as a protected structure. During the construction of the Luas line, the station was used as an office. The sign on the platform says ‘Station for St.Columbas’ College and was put there because of the large number of boarding students passing through the station on their way to the college in Rathfarnham. Heavy goods were also carried through the station and this practice continued until the 1950s.

Bullock Castle
Bullock Castle
Bullock Castle was built around the twelfth century to help protect the fishing industry the monks had built up there. An adjoining house was added to the castle in the eighteenth century and a tower was located near the top of the steps to the castle. William Hutchinson (later Harbour Master in Dun Laoghaire) stayed in Bullock Castle for a period from 1817 to supervise quarrying in the area and to manage the pilots who sailed the boats out of the harbour. Today the castle is an historic monument and cultural centre.

St. Andrew's Church, Blackrock.
St. Andrew's Church, Blackrock.
St.Andrew's Church is located on Merrion Avenue and dates from 1899. The design is similar to many Early Christian Byzantine Churches and is octagonal in shape. The church, like Merrion Avenue, has a close connection with the Fitzwilliam family. It was the familys' local church and the Fifth Viscount Fitzwilliam had his children baptized in it. There was a temporary kindergarten school in the church hall from 1909 to 1931. Andrew Carnegie also bequeathed money to the church, resulting in the installation of an organ there in 1912.
