Patrick's Bridge, Cork, 1909

In this restored Stereograph from the Library of Congress, we see a busy Patrick's Bridge in 1908. You can imagine the din of hard-working horses, cartwheels on cobble and gliding trams competing with the chat and banter of the city's citizens. Mangan's Clock, Father Mathew and a prominent sign for Beamish & Crawford's Stout set the scene perfectly.
