TEXT ON PICTURE:

THURLES - DURLAS UI FOGARTA. O'FOGARTY'S STRONG FORT - Several places derive their names from the word Durlas, "strong fort". The town of Thurles, county Tipperary, was known as Durlas Ui Fogarta from its situation in O'Fogarty's country. The same root-word appears in Rathurles (Tipperary) - Rath-durlais; and in Durless (Mayo and Tyrone). Thurles (population in 1926, 4,796) stands on the R. Suir, on the Great Southern Ry. main line, which here branches to Clonmel and Waterford. It contains the R.C. Cathedral of the diocese of Cashel, and remains of several buildings of historic interest, among them a Carmelite Monastery founded in 1300, and the "Knight Hospitallers' Castle".
