The wonderful thing about Dublin is that everything has a history or a background story but the problem is that everyone will tell you a different story.
When I first photographed this bridge a self appointed local historian told me that the lifting bridge was built by Earl Spencer the paternal grandfather of Diana Spencer. The problem with such stories is that the facts may be “alternative” but they are often true so they cannot be easily dismissed. I did, however, have some problems with the story for the following reasons.
[1] Spencer Dock was originally known as the Royal Canal Docks
[2] Diana’s Grand Father or his father had no connection with Ireland.
[3] The bridge appears to have an electric motor dating from the 1940s or 1950s
Anyway I decided to check a history of the docklands published by Turtle Bunbury [by the way the book features one of my photographs] and I came across the following: “The new dock was a work of ‘entirely private enterprise’ and cost £58,000. On the beautiful afternoon of 15th April 1873, (Sir) Ralph Cusack, Chairman of the MGWR, opened the new dock and formally named it Spencer after the Lord Lieutenant, Earl Spencer, great-great grandfather of Diana, Princess of Wales.”
So there was some basis to the local historian’s claim however the bridge associated with the development was at the time described as “an ingenious hydraulic bridge” and it was the work of the railway’s engineer Mr Price. The bridge in my photographs does not really match the description above.
The available information available is confusing but the bridge in my photographs appears to be referred to as the Sheriff Street Lifting Bridge but also as the Sheriff Street Spencer Drawbridge but it was built in 1941 as a replacement for an older swivel bridge dating from 1873.
Just before I published my original photographs I came across this “However, on 17 October 1941 the IT reported on the opening of the new Sheriff Street drawbridge, which had cost £18,000; it was a structure unique of its kind in these islands.” canalsofdublin.com/royal-canal-interactive-walk/sheriff-s...

For 22 years Vince Carter and his Embassy of Hope Foundation have been hosting community members at the annual Vince Carter Charity Gala. On August 10, 2019 at the Ocean Center Daytona Beach, friends, family, and community leaders came together to recognize the outstanding work of Joyce Cusack and Bobby Thigpen. They were the recipients of the 2019 Embassy of Hope Foundation Hall of Fame Award. “Joyce Cusack has sacrificed a major portion of her life to serving others as an elected official, and Bobby Thigpen works tirelessly to help organizations and individuals who need help,” said Carter, former NBA All-Star and member of the Atlanta Hawks. In addition, the Embassy of Hope Foundation recognized Joseph “Joey” Smith, a student at Hinson Middle School, with its Young Philanthropist Award for his outstanding dedication and support for the foundation’s work of helping those less fortunate. Carter’s comment, “Joey could run our food basket giveaway at Christmas, because he has been volunteering since he was in elementary school.”
“This gala is one of my favorite fundraising events,” said Carter. “It is an opportunity for people to come together, enjoy themselves and help us raise money for local programs within our community.” The gala, a black-tie optional affair, included entertainment by MPiRE, plenty of food, recognition of the foundation’s scholarship winners, and lots of fun. There was a silent auction of numerous gift baskets donated by friends and members of the Embassy of Hope Board of Directors, as well as exquisite jewelry available for purchase from J’aime Bijoux LLC, wholesale private jeweler Jaime Yeomans.
In addition to the dancing, auctions, and camaraderie, attendees enjoyed “off the cuff” vintage Vince Carter comments about his career, which is drawing to a close, his continuing desire to help others, his passion for helping young people see their potential, and his dreams for a better life for those less fortunate. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” said one of the gala attendees.
Proceeds benefit children and family programs and the Embassy of Hope “Believing in Your Dreams” Scholarship Fund. Since its inception in 1998, Carter’s Embassy of Hope Foundation has donated over 1.9 million dollars in the United States and Canada.

Foundation stone 29 Apr 1865 by Bishop Goold, architect William Wardill, dedicated 10 Mar 1871, extensions & tower 1905, architect W G Kell, enlarged 1962. First wooden church 1854, demolished 1874, replaced by brick school hall.
“the appointment of the following gentlemen as trustees of church lands is announced as approved by his Excellency:- the Right Rev. J. A. Goold, the Rev. John Kennedy, Michael Cusack Esq., Benjamin Slater Esq., Ambrose M. Holway Esq., to be trustees of the ground reserved at Wangaratta for the use of the Roman Catholic Church.” [The Argus 23 Apr 1856]
“His Lordship the Roman Catholic Bishop of Melbourne lately paid a visit to the principal townships in this portion of his diocese. On the 29th ult. he laid the foundation of St. Patrick's Church at Wangaratta.” [Ovens & Murray Advertiser 24 May 1866]
“A striking feature of the new building will be a stone tower to be erected on the front elevation at the north (or school) side, and which will be surmounted by a spire, built of steel, with copper castings, the height from ground to final being 80ft. A handsome stained-glass window will occupy a position somewhat relative to the present front entrance door, and access to the church will be gained through a stone porch of ornate design. . . On the north side, also, a second entrance by means of a handsome porch will be provided, and on the opposite walls escape doors are to>be placed in compliance with the Board of Health conditions.” [Ovens & Murray Advertiser 30 Apr 1904]
“St Patrick’s Church, Wangaratta, was blessed and re-opened last Sunday by his Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne. . . The church has recently undergone extensive alterations and- additions. . . The building is constructed of local granite, in the style of early English architecture. The principal feature is a spire 86 feet high.” [Advocate, Melbourne 25 Nov 1905]
“The formal .opening of St. Patrick's Church, Wangaratta, which has recently been enlarged at a cost of over £5000, took place last Sunday. At half-past 10 there was a very large number waiting at the doors for admission, and long before 11 o'clock every available space In the large edifice was filled, and many were unable to obtain admission. The Missa Cantata was celebrated by Rev. Dr. Flynn, and the choir sang Haydn's Third Mass (‘The Imperial’). . . The choir was assisted by several members of the Presbyterian and Church of England choirs.” [Ovens & Murray Advertiser 25 Nov 1905 p 4]
“It was during 1853 that the population was sufficient to warrant the holding of services here, and a priest then occasionally visited from Beechworth, which was the centre of the parish for some years. In the absence of a church Father Smith celebrated the first mass in Wangaratta in the dining room of Crisp's Royal Hotel, and on later visits pitched a tent that accommodated himself and his altar assistants while his congregation performed their devotions in the open air opposite. . . As population increased an effort was made to secure the erection of a suitable church building, but in the early stages the residents suffered a heavy loss by the theft of £360 from the priest who had charge of the money while he was lodging at Crisp's Royal Hotel. . . A weatherboard building, erected on the site of St. Patrick's School, served for several years as schoolhouse and church. . . The wooden schoolhouse and church having begun to fall into serious disrepair, the late Rev. Father Galen initiated a movement for a new church and work was begun in 1865.” [Ovens & Murray Advertiser 25 Nov 1905 p 1]
“The windows at the side and over the high altar, including the Nuns' Chapel, are stained glass, while others throughout the church (except those in front) are in leaded lights, embellished with emblems relating to sacred and appropriate subjects.” [Ovens & Murray Advertiser 25 Nov 1905 p 1]

Editor’s Notes:
About Cork Cancer Research Centre (CCRC)
The Cork Cancer Research Centre is an independent research centre focused on developing new treatments for secondary cancer. Key to centre’s success is the clear collaboration between surgeons and physicians in practice with speciality cancer researchers to apply their findings in practice. Its purpose is to provide discovery and innovations that may be applied to the prevention of the cancer in the first place or to the development of more effective treatment strategies. Our main focus is to find new treatments for patients who do not respond to conventional chemotherapy. In terms of our research activities, the Centre has brought five cancer treatments from the laboratory to clinical trial. More information about their work is available on www.ccrc.ie. Although we are living in challenging economic times, research must progress if we are to continue advancing new cancer treatments and positively impacting patient lives.

A great and beloved New England auto racing icon has died.
Ralph Cusack has passed at age 87. He was an early star at Beech Ridge Speedway, and became a twelve-time champion. His first championship was earned in 1953, the last in 1980. He won championships driving underpowered coupes with flathead engines all the way up to insanely powerful supermodifieds.
He purchased the track from Cowboy Cal Reynolds in 1981, the year after he won his final driving championship, and sold it to his sons who have run the track ever since.
Much more than a track owner, Ralph was a strong family man who
with his wife Jane raised two fine sons. He was a man people admired and looked up to.
Ralph was inducted into the NEAR Hall of Fame in 2001. In addition to his driving championships, he received many awards for his operation of the track. He regularly attended racing at Beech Ridge well into his mid-80s.
