Around Arbour Hill

Some photographs from in and around Arbour Hill, last resting place of the leaders of the 1916 Rising.

 The Church. The graveyard contains graves of British military families.

 A Lebanese Cedar Tree commemorates Irish soldiers killed in Lebanon. The building behind is, I think, the old “British” school house for garrison children.

 Arbour Hill Memorial.

 The School House is now used as the club rooms for United Nations veterans.

 The offices of the Military Heritage Trust.

 The Irish Army Equitation School (successors of Fitzjames Horse).

 The postbox on the Gate Post at Museum/Barracks. This was a working post office until the closure of the Barracks in the mid 1990s. Note the “VR” (Victoria Regina) markings on the postbox.
