Phoenix Rising

Colman's Pub on the Market Square, Enniscorthy, is nearing completion and a super job has been done on the rebuild. The roof sets the standard and has been done using salvaged Blue Bangor slates - probably now one of the best roofs in the town - and the on-street frontage is superb. Let's hope that a new tenant will be found soon as well as an improved clientelle from its last incarnation. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Enniscorthy in quieter times!

Came across this interesting Valentine postcard of the Shannon Quay in Enniscorthy, on eBay, and thought it worthy of inclusion here despite its obvious grubbiness. Even the Horse Chestnut trees along the riverbank had not been planted when this photo was taken. Yates' building (which is still there today as apartments and Danny Murphy's Furniture) is the most obvious landmark.
