Robert French - A lot of horse power in these stables!

These are the stables on the Rockingham Estate in Boyle, Co. Roscommon - home to the King family (the Estate, not the Stables!). It looks as if real horse-drawn conveyances and horse power as we know it today were still co-existing quite happily there. The main vehicle is allegedly a Panhard!
