History
Goresbridge was located in historic Gaelic kingdom of Ossory (Osraige). Following the Williamite–Jacobite War, Charles II gave grants of land which had been forfeited by the Roman Catholic owners.[3][8]Шаблон:Clarify
Arthur Gore obtained a grant of land, the townland of Barrowmount in parish of Grangesilvia, from Charles II,[3][8] and by the end of the 17th century the Gore family were well established.[8]
Goresbridge[9] was named for the family and the New Bridge built in 1756 by Colonel Ralph Gore.[3][8] On the 1846 OSI map of Ireland the village is referred to it as Newbridge.
Gore's Bridge
Gore's Bridge has nine-arch granite bridge crossing of the River Barrow between County Kilkenny and County Carlow. Built in 1756 by Colonel Ralph Gore the Earl of Ross.[5]
This mid-eighteenth-century elegantly-composed landmark was built using unrefined Carlow granite.[5] It represents an important element of civil engineering and transport heritage[5] and formed a vital link between the two counties.[3]
Battle of Goresbridge
The Battle of Goresbridge occurred during the Irish Rebellion on 23 June 1798 at Gore's Bridge.[3][5] During the Wexford Rebellion, and just days Battle of Vinegar Hill, Wexford insurgents attempted to use the Gore's Bridge.
The locally stationed Wexford Militia[3] were defeated, they lost their cavalry,[3] twenty eight soldiers were captured, and the rest fled to Kilkenny.[3] There is a carved granite memorial adjacent to the bridge.[3]
Transport
Goresbridge railway station opened on 26 October 1870, closed for passenger traffic on 26 January 1931 and for goods traffic on 27 January 1947, finally closing altogether on 1 April 1963.[10] Kilbride Coaches services Goresbridge from Graiguenamanagh or Kilkenny twice a day, except Sundays[11]
