A tale of 3 Pubs



Coffey's ~ where I had my first pint
O'Rourkes ~ a good pub
Earley's ~ the odd pint there. like the name minus an E.!

Billy's Bar


Ah, Dad's local in his day. It was called Neesons, still is by some.
Opposite was Snell's bookies. Many a 5p yankees was staked! :)

New Newbridge



Piwo and 24 hour shopping. compliment eachother?

a burgeoning Polish community and the largest shopping complex beyond Dublin. never would have guessed 20 years ago when i was going to school in Newbridge.

Old Newbridge




the auld newbridge, going or gone forever. how long before these two room terrace cottages get "redeveloped"

"In my day there were two rooms and ten childern, now it's ten bedrooms and two children" quote aunt molly
