A view of biplanes (and a autogyro) over Longford Town in about 1935. The larger plane is apparently an Airspeed Ferry, a ten-seat passenger biplane built in the early 1930s. The photograph is related to an aviation display organised by Alan Cobham (1894-1973). Cobham organised displays of various aircraft, ranging from single-seaters to modern airliners, with many skilled pilots. He toured both Britain and Ireland, calling at hundreds of sites, some of them regular airfields and some just fields cleared for the occasion. Generally known as ‘Cobham's Flying Circus’, it was hugely popular, giving thousands of people their first experience of flying. These displays continued until about 1935.

The map is annotated: ‘The premises proposed to be mortgaged are bounded green’.

The plan also contains a note indicating that ‘sixteen cells are provided on upper floors of proposed additions to convent’. The additions (bordered in red ink) also consist of an entrance hall, a large parlour and two reception rooms. See also CA CS/2/6/2/1.

It was replaced by a church built in 1796 which in turn was replaced by the existing Church of St. Mary of the Angels (built from 1868 to 1881). The plate is by Mayne, Lord Edward Street, Dublin.
