The image, taken circa early 1900s, offers a captivating view across the River Slaney, revealing a collection of picturesque buildings nestled on the left bank. The hill in the distance, known as Vinegar Hill, adds an intriguing backdrop to the scene. Vinegar Hill, a historic site in Co. Wexford, holds significant importance in Irish history. It was the site of the last major rebellion against English rule during the 1798 uprising. The hill's name is said to have originated from the vinegar-like smell of the soil, which was rich in iron and lime. The River Slaney, meandering through the landscape, has played a crucial role in the development of Enniscorthy. It provided a vital means of transportation and facilitated the growth of the town as a commercial hub. The buildings in the photograph, with their red-tiled roofs and well-preserved facades, are a testament to the town's rich architectural heritage.
