Newbridge
To look at Newbridge you might think
that its the most boring town to live in
(.....besides the fact IT IS) you'd still be
surprised at both its history and the some
of the people who come from here. If I
had to name some I'd say Christy Moore
and the musician Donal Lunny,who both
went to school in the collage.
Newbridge has changed a lot over the years.
If you compare newbridge today to the town
one hundred & one years ago it turns out like
like this:
Newbridge 1900
 2001 - 1900
