County Carlow: Bagenalstown

7th May 2018.

I travelled to Bagenalstown on the train from Dublin, a distance of 102 kilometres. It has a population of 2,500 and is often called Muine Bheag.

It is located on the River Barrow.

Post Office.

A brief walk around the town and I took a train north to Athy in County Kildare.

County Carlow: Carlow

25th April 2018.

I travelled by train from Heuston Station to Carlow (population 22,000) which is 100 kilometres to south east.

Frankly an unsuccessful day as I “lost” most of the photographs I took. The only one that survived was this image of Carlow Castle, which dates from the middle of the 13th century. It was the scene of a massacre of rebels during the 1798 Rebellion.
