Old Grain Store
This rectangular worse-for-wear-looking structure on New Ross' quay-front is an old grain store, which was in use up until about 10 years ago. This was taken outside the Topaz garage in February of 2015. The building on the left is a LIDL supermarket. The church in the background is the Church of St. Mary & St. Michael.
Selskar Gate
A photograph of Selskar Gate in Wexford Town. This was one of seven Norman gateways that provided access to the walled town of Wexford. This particular gateway is often (erroneously) referred to as West Gate, which was the name of a nearby gate that was demolished.
The Pauper's Graveyard
The Pauper's Graveyard is an old cemetery in Coolcotts, Wexford. The cemetery, which dates back to the 1800s, was used as a burial place for those who were too poor and destitute to afford their own plot. Because of the fact that all but one of the grave sites are unmarked, it is impossible to tell how many people were buried here.
The memorial monument:
The benches and flowers at the entrance:
The only headstone in the graveyard belongs to a 12 year old boy called John Brien, who died on the 2nd of December, 1904.
