Welcome to Ed Butler originally from Athlone who found our site while looking for some information on The Fortifications. He found some very good photos on http://users.pandora.be/hugo.magielse/shannonbridge/shbridge.html
which are worth looking at.
Ed also looked up George Brent in a film encyclopaedia a few years ago after having seen him on a film on TV and was surprized that he came from Shannonbridge.
Ed hopes to visit here sometime to have a good look at The Fort.
Meanwhile the day has turned dull with a light shower of rain earlier on.There was great demand for nuts from the bird feeder this morning and they were queeeing for their turn.
North to Alaska were playing last night and were slow to start as the keyboard electric kept on playing and would notstop.Eventually they borrowed another keyboard and played on.
