A pastoral scene from Newbridge in County Kildare today with lots of life on view, after the late Josephine Eliza’s plaque yesterday. Drovers with their sheep and DOG moving along Main Street in the town as they head to market.

From wet hills by the sea,
Through Leitrim and Longford
Go my cattle and me.

yes, working dog ! instead of, as happens in many of the catalogue, people just standing around or leaning against walls. This could suggest to others that Irish people are a bit on the easy side . I am going to show this image around to see if any former colleagues can hint on the sheep breed. Danny , be reassured the sheep will never be in control 🐐 but goats will

The ladies outfit suggests later in the date range.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley] ... as do the enormous telegraph poles! I thought the lady was one-legged until I megazoomed her! There are a number of Eason and Lawrence photos of this street, and I think they can be organised chronologically by the number of cross-beams on the telegraph poles. BUT ... there is another Eason photo of further down the street which has a Ford Model T (photographer's?) and lower poles with less cross-beams, implying earlier than today's photo. Mr "Eason" must have gone to Newbridge twice ... catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000558240 EDIT - we were there previously; see comments ... [https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/29776825564/]

The Crown Hotel looks to be in same location as modern hotel. Wall of barracks on right. Edit. No, it's now Judge Roy Beans Looks like Edward, not Main, Street

On closer inspection on megazoom "lorry " would be a heavy cart given the angle of the wheels and legs in the centre. Trees in leaf and sheep are unshorn so late Spring to early Summer.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] That's the one, probably from c 1935. Well it is sort of doggy. Pity we don't have a date for the renaming to 'The Grand'

Christy Moore was born at No.3 Moorefield Terrace (2nd house left beside the Hotel) The winter it has passed And the summer's come at last The small birds are singing in the trees And their little hearts are glad Ah, but mine is very sad Since my true love is far away from me And straight I will repair To the Curragh of Kildare For it's there I'll finds tidings of my dear
