The Stone Breaking Yard - a photo on Flickriver

At Kilmainham Gaol Dublin.
The space got it's name from when the yard was used by the prisoners to break stones as hard labour during their internment. This is also where the leaders of the Irish rebellion were executed in May 1916. The execution of these men, more than any other event, lead to the Irish population changing their attitude in favour of the rebels and against the continuance of British rule in the country.Fairly non-descript loking place...but packed full of atmosphere and history.
Part of the Dublin set. See the Slideshow
