| AN ATHLONE STREET, ROSCOMMON.- There are still extant in Athlone many houses that witnessed the memorable sieges and battles of 1690-91. The sketch shows one of the ancient streets of that renowned burgh, which may be described as standing astride the Shannon, parly in Roscommon and partly in Westmeath. In one of the olden houses, the famous Baron de Ginkel, commander-in-chief of King William's army, lodged after the capture of the town. |
