These two postcard scenes of the Vinegar Hill battle give a hint as to the scale of the event. The potential do something historically accurate while, at the same time, being exciting is enormous. Volumes of work on the events of 1798 exist and Sir Richard Musgrave's much maligned book (top) is packed with facts and figures collected in the immediate aftermath of the battle and would be a good starting off point for any new Vinegar Hill Battlefield Centre.
