Covid 19
June 15th, 2020. The Northern Lane is closed to Traffic other than Pedestrian. This is a very bizarre situation, and too late in this infection cycle, to have any benefit. The so called logic is that Pedestrians will have more distance between each other, and limit their chances of getting Covid 19. Vertical barriers, are erected, to this end.
Protected Structures
- Horse's Trough
Horse's Trough, Forster Street Water Trough for Horses - Coordinates. 53.275265, -9.046322 by the Kerb.
- Thought to be from the early 1900's, probably post 1927. There are some sort of Wrought Iron Brackets which are fixed to it. Maybe, to mount it on something?
- Contributed (formal ?) by George and Annis Bills, whose Bread and Butter was in Mattress Springs, and patented a Wire Weaving Machine and later making a small fortune from it. As a vocation if you like, they also got Concrete Troughs made, and established a Trust Fund for it to continue. This fund paid for "our one". However, they are scattered throughout the British Isles.
- A Protected Structure, because of its Age.
- Once, filled with Water, and now Flowers.
- A Brass or Bronze Plaque is fixed onto the east side of it.
