Summary

Soldiers waiting for a train at Newbridge Railway Station in Co. Kildare. They may have been members of the Cavalry Regiment stationed at nearby Newbridge (aka Kilbride?) Barracks ( nlireland/6282142859/ ) .....Thanks to Kevin j Monahan ( 69751036@N08/ ) for all of this information on Newbridge Barracks and its contemporary traces:."Newbridge barracks was on the main street, after Independence the new Irish Free State army chose not to retain it as there were barracks in Kildare town and Naas plus the Curragh. As it was government land it had the library, a school, the post office, Bord na Mona's headquarters and a garda station, Saint Conleths Park - the GAA county grounds are also there. Newbridge was known from having a one sided main street as there were only shops on one side. The barracks are almost gone now, but there are still some relics, Newbridge town hall on the main street was the old garrison church, the barracks water tower is on the end of Cutlery road (I used to climb it when I was a kid). One of the barrack gates is still there across from Ryston and I believe there is a building in Bord na Mona that was part of the barracks."..Date: Circa 1910..NLI Ref.: EAS_2532 ( EAS_2532 )

Images from our photo collections that show those magnificent men (and women) in their flying, choo choo-ing, and driving machines... Oh, and we've cheated, we're adding boats and ships, jaunting cars and carriages, trams too and bicycles - we're completely shameless. So, basically any form of transport - air, sea, land - with the exception of two human feet...
