Request for postmark
Postcard sent to The Postmaster, Newtownmountkennedy, Greystones on 16th June 1898 requesting that it be returned with a Newtownmountkennedy postmark applied.
Newtownmountkennedy is a small town in County Wicklow, Ireland. It developed within the historic townland of Ballygarny although all that remains of the village is an old church and graveyard just 0.45 km (0.28 mi) outside the town. It acquired its present name in the mid-seventeenth-century, when Sir Robert Kennedy, M.P. for Kildare, made it his principal residence.
This town has one of the longest place names in Ireland.
Returned on 18th June bearing Newtownmountkenndy and Greystones postmarks and a 1d. surcharge charge mark for being a naughty boy.
