    Great picture, Caitriona. My mother always spoke of playing there when she was a girl living in Thomas Street.

    In 1796 Arthur Wellesley (Duke of Wellington) sailed for India as a 27 year old Colonel in command of the 33rd Regiment of Foot. He did not return to England until 1805, by which time he was a 36 year old Major General.
