Summary[edit]

Description

I know we have been in this area about five years ago, but, I think these eviction photos are so important that they deserve their own day in the spotlight. The research on our eviction related images has been excellent, and has educated me about a time we all knew about but a time where details and any real insight was at best sketchy.

Among the other excellent inputs today, our prolific antipodean contributor and poet-in-residence, [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ BeachcomberAustralia] (ably assisted by his pommy counterpart [/photos/johnspooner/ John Spooner]), provides the following from the Leinster Leader of November 1888:   A similar scene took place at John Foxes' (the Grah) home, a one- storey wretched cabin consisting of three rooms and a thatched roof. A crowbar was inserted under the door lifting it up through the thatched roof off the hinges as it was pulled out. At the house of Andrew Fox when the door came off a young child was seen leading out a very old woman who seemed even too weak to move ...

This allows us to confirm two from the ellusive trifecta (date and subject). And while there are a few candidates on the third unknown (location), including solid suggestions from [/photos/bernardhealy/ Bernard Healy] and [/photos/8468254@N02/ derangedlemur], we've mapped this image to the general Clongorey/Barrestown area for now....
