Bridget O'Donnell by Mark Kennedy 🇮🇪 outside The Thirsty Scholar ☘️
You may not recognise the name Bridget O’Donnell, but she is one of the most recognisable women in Irish history. www.theirishnation.com/bridget-odonnell
In December 1849 her image (re-presented in the mosaic here) appeared in The Illustrated London News. Over the following decades she became the face of the Great Famine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)
The Thirsty Scholar is a pub found within the arches of the railway bridge which crosses Oxford Road. It’s one of three pubs, the others being The Sailsbury and Grand Central, which are all nestled near the old steps leading up to Oxford Road Station. All three pubs have something of an old fashioned rock sensibility about them, and, unlike many Manchester pubs of a certain era, they’ve not had their edges filed down. oxfordroadcorridor.com/venues/the-thirsty-scholar/
