Elizabeth Fort,Cork,Ireland

Elizabeth Fort is a 17th-century star fort off Barrack Street in Cork, Ireland.Originally built as a defensive fortification on high-ground outside the city walls, the city eventually grew around the fort, and it took on various other roles – including use as a military barracks, prison, and police station.Since 2014, the fort has seen some development as a tourism heritage site, reportedly attracting 36,000 visitors during 2015.The walls of the fort have been accessible to the public on a regular basis since September 2014.

Elizabeth Fort was first built in 1601 on a hill to the south and outside the medieval walls of Cork. This position was chosen because, while the city had relied on Shandon Castle and the city walls for defence since Anglo-Norman times, the development of artillery and the possibility of its deployment on the hills surrounding the city, diminished the potential effectiveness of these defences.The fort was built by Sir George Carew and named after Queen Elizabeth I.

Border Radio (Live at the Venue, London, 1982) · The Blasters

[Verse 1] One more midnight, her man is still gone The nights move too slow She tries to remember the heat of his touch While listening to the Border Radio

[Verse 2] She calls toll free and requests an old song Something they used to know She prays to herself that wherever he is He's listening to the Border Radio

[Chorus] This song comes from 1962 Dedicated to a man who's gone Fifty thousand watts out of Mexico This is the Border Radio This is the Border Radio

[Verse 3] She thinks of her son, asleep in his room And how her man won't see him grow She thinks of her life and she hopes for a change While listening to the Border Radio

[Chorus] This song comes from 1962 Dedicated to a man who's gone Fifty thousand watts out of Mexico This is the Border Radio This is the Border Radio

[Verse 4] They play her tune but she can't concentrate She wonders why he had to go One more midnight her man is still gone She's listening to the Border Radio

[Chorus] This song comes from 1962 Dedicated to a man who's gone Fifty thousand watts out of Mexico This is the Border Radio This is the Border Radio
