Bringing #Ireland's #History to Life 🇮🇪 🛍️🏦
My restored & colourised 1876-1883 Robert French photo of Shop Street in Drogheda, County #Louth featuring the 1770 Tholsel converted into a Hibernian Bank in 1890 and Whitworth monument, moved to the quays in 1894.

#OnThisDay 1941 The Luftwaffe dropped bombs in Julianstown, Mornington & Bettystown, Meath with only minor damage to houses. Two mines were dropped at Kilmacanogue, Wicklow. Nobody died but more bombs followed in the coming days & casualties mounted.

#Onthisday 1890 The US Army massacred over 300 Lakota, 200 of whom were women & children, at Wounded Knee. 20 Medal of Honor were awarded that day to 7th Cav, one of them to Pvt. Thomas Sullivan from Meath. Another to Sgt James Ward.
A dark day in our past.

Many Archbishops of Armagh lived in Drogheda, but where exactly, and do their residences survive? In the first of an irregular series, I look at Dr. Thomas Kelly, Archbishop of Armagh 1832-1835. https://t.co/Ksd7dDElyC
Following a major service and refurbishment, the Tholsel Bells in Drogheda are now in full working order, in time to celebrate Christmas. The bells are scheduled to ring on each hour and half hour. @VisitLouthIE@VisitDrogheda1
