TOPIC:

Yeah, I heard that the "servers" in OSI were rendering using desktop software and sending the result to the agent's browser, requiring one server per user in a worst case scenario. Or something!

Do you know where on the OSI maps the Celbridge brewery building is?

No, the servers are proper Server GIS technology, although old at this stage. So the rendering for the web application for the ordering was all via ArcIMS. The actual map production, once an order was placed for either hard copy or digital, is done as batch processes on more or less Desktop software, acting in a bank. More recent technology would allow this output process to work on a true server, but it worked/works quite well.

A brewery in Celbridge rings a bell, but I never mapped one. Do you have any references to point us to?

The Brewery in my home town of Clonmel is on Dowds Lane. It's where the wooden Vats in the Bulmers ads are, they started in here in 1935, made the town smell of fermenting apples every September (one of my starting school memories!). It's much bigger on this than I thought it would be. It's known here that it started as a Murphy's Brewery in 1798-ish. Assumed to be Murphy's Stout but they say they only started in the 1830's so don't know about that. Was hoping someone here would be able to enlighten me? <!-- s:-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:-) -->

Arthur G's first venture. Site of The Village Inn used to be James Carberry's Brewery if their web site is to be believed:

Looks like stuff going on out the back, but doesn't look like a courtyard style set-up like it was in Leixlip:

Re: Clonmel, I couldn't precisely locate either of two breweries mentioned by Lewis in 1837. He said "There are two very large ale and porter breweries in the town; and at Marlfield, about a mile distant, is a distillery for whiskey upon a very extensive scale".
However, I didn't have the 25" maps at the time. I found one large brewery ,arked on those that wasn't labelled as such on the earlier 6"

Ah, that Celbridge one! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> We had an off-topic discussion on it here a while back[/url:2xzz1bit].

Here's St. Bridgid's Brewery in Dungarvan on the 6" (in the 1830s: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,625562,593275,7,7">maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,625562,593275,7,7

Then on the 25" (can't recall what years that was done): <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,625562,593275,7,9">maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,625562,593275,7,9

Thanks for randomly picking Dungarvan - those maps are fantastic, both on a historical brewery level, and a general historical level of the town.

As an aside, the local Museum are running an exhibition on brewing and baking in Dungarvan for (and after) the Festival of Food weekend. I can't wait, and if there's any info worth passing on I'll be more than happy to.
