While trawling on eBay this morning I came across this interesting postcard of the last major restoration of Enniscorthy Castle by P.J.Roche of New Ross. The work was carried out between 1900 and 1905, and the Castle was a wedding present for his son, Henry J.Roche and his American bride Josephine Shriver. Imagine what the health and safety people would say if they saw scaffolding like that today!
Great photo.
ReplyDeleteScaffolding was not too bad considering it was more than 100 years ago!
Thanks for sharing.
