Ballyshannon Bridge
Ballyshannon Bridge
Acrylics painting of Ballyshannon Bridge by Brian Gallagher. Image taken from the book “Donegal, South of the Gap.” The view from below the bridge shows the town climbing the hill. The bridge spans the River Erne, linking Connacht to Ulster. The memorial tablet seen on the centre of the bridge was erected in 1895 in honour of local poet William Allingham (1828-1889). The text on the plaque, written by the author reads:“Here once he roved a happy boyAlong the winding banks of ErneAnd now, please God, with finer joyA fairer land his eyes discern.”
