This photo taken at " Bunkers Hill " Roscrea (early 20th cent.) later to be commonly known as " Railway View " . .
The Engineer in charge (?) of the survey stands in Street centre in the photo.
The Cottages to the left of the picture are for demolition and renewal.
The origin of the street-name may have a connection with the American Revolutionary War (Charlestown, Mass. 1775). and the battle of Bunker Hill

The number of onlookers would seem to indicate the earliest photography in RosCré . . .
