Taken from the east, in the foreground is the roof of the Chapel then along Arlington Street, we see on the right the road to Spring Head and on the left Dam End, the road widens at the Market Place. The road on the right of the photo is the road that leads up to Micklow lane. A lovely clear postcard view believed to have been sold by Ford\u2019s in the early 1960\u2019s, although unsure of date of production. However Norman Patton points out: \u201dI suspect that the church in the foreground is the Newton Memorial Chapel which was damaged beyond repair in the bombing of 1941 and demolished.\u00a0 It also appears that the beautiful and large Methodist Chapel near to the Arlington Hotel had not been built when this photograph was taken and yet I remember attending in my earliest days (early 40s)!!\u00a0 There is an obelisk at the east end of the market square which I don\u2019t remember seeing in my life and I am not convinced that the War Memorial is in the picture.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how many of these observations are accurate but given the number of what appear to be motor vehicles on the road,\u00a0 I am guessing about 1920\u2026\u2026\u2026don\u2019t forget the aeroplane!?\u201d Richard Watson comments: \u201dWould concur with Norman\u2019s observations \u2014 the houses now opposite the recreation ground on Micklow Lane also are absent \u2014 the 20\u2032s would seem a good guess.\u201d<\/strong> Taken from the east, in the foreground is the roof of the Chapel then along Arlington Street, we see on the right the road to Spring Head and on the left Dam End, the road widens at the Market Place.
