18th July 1959 my honeymoon was spent in Bray, County Wicklow. We stayed with Mrs Madge McGrath, a cousin of my father (Joseph Devlin). My strongest memory is the friendliness of the people, and my husband enjoyed the Guinness.

An old picture of the original square and centre of the town known as the Diamond, which was the original market place of Monaghan. The market cross was moved a few years later to make way for the Rossmore Memorial.

An excellent view of the castle, the seat of the Rossmore family. This fine estate is about one and a half miles south of the town, on the minor road to Newbliss and Cavan. Little now remains, but the park is very popular.
