12 Handball Alley and Bridge

Bridge
Handball alley

Just before the bridge the remains of the old handball alley are located.  Built in the early 20th century, this three walled alley would have been a feature of the social and political life of the town.  The limestone bridge which spans the River Clare was built in 1856 as part of a Famine Relief Scheme.
