Somer's Fort, Coolroe, Co. Wexford (1888)
Here's another eviction photograph from Co. Wexford that I've added some colour too. This time at the other end of the county in Coolroe. This was taken in September 1888 when 12 local men tried to defend the home of the Somer's family from eviction. This photo is from the Lawrence Collection while there is a brilliant book on the evictions by Liam Ryan called 'The Land War in the Barony of Shelburne (1882-1888)
