A view of Lower Main Street in Graiguenamangh, County Kilkenny, in about 1905. The image was probably taken (or acquired) by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1873-1953), a Capuchin friar who was a native of Graiguenamangh. A horse drawn carriage (called a ‘brake’) can be seen carrying passengers on the right of the road. These were extensively used in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a means of public transport and conveyance. Going in the opposite direction is what appears to be some sort of parade of horses and jockeys (in apparently elaborate silks).
