Cornmarket

Cornmarket

Can you see the big weighing scale on the right?
It was the focal point of the markets held here.
Do you think it's still there today?

 

Was there enough food to eat in a town like Ballinrobe during the Second World War?

 

Féach ar na carranna. When were cars like those built?

Do you think the street is a cleaner place today?

What have town planners done with the wide space in the middle?
Has the street improved?

 

Can you see the word gaol beside the number 8 on the map?
People were imprisoned in this jail, and some people were hanged outside it.

It became a town hall.



The town hall fell into disrepair in the 1990's and was demolished in the year 2006.

What do you think will be built in its place?
