Vintage car on old Gweebarra Bridge, 1930
Vintage car on old Gweebarra Bridge, 1930
Black and white photograph of a group of Killybegs people, three ladies and two men in a vintage car. The group are well-dressed, the women all wearing hats, and have the appearance of people either going to a wedding or other social outing. They are crossing the old Gweebarra Bridge in south-west Donegal, and the ironwork of the bridge can be seen in the background. The car has left-hand steering, making it most likely an American import. This photograph was taken in 1930.

Lock gates mechanism
Lock gates mechanism
This is one of the four pieces of machinery, installed in 1845, to operate the Lock Gates in Athlone. The railed-in area contains a rain guage. The Lock, which was a major part of the Shannon Navigation works in Athlone was commenced in 1845 but was not completed until 1848 or 49. The Lock was built to facilitate the servicing of the many barges which were delivering goods to Athlone. The coming of the railways within a few years of the making of this Lock brought great competition into the transportation business. The contractor for the building of the Lock was the firm of Henry, Mullins and McMahon the operating mechanisms for the Lock were made in Scotland.

Mailboat 'Ulster' at Kingstown
Mailboat 'Ulster' at Kingstown
In the 1820's the City of Dublin Irish Steampacket Company and the government mail service both made Kingstown their port of mail delivery. Ships were the fastest method of transferring post, people and packages across the Irish Sea, making Dun Laoghaire the principal port between Great Britain and Ireland. The opening of Irelands first railway between Dun Laoghaire and Dublin further enhanced the villages' status.
