THE LITTLE ROOM ON BENBURB STREET [AN EXAMPLE OF URBAN DEPRESSION]-163038 by William Murphy Via Flickr: I first photographed this building when it was the thisisnotashop gallery. My understandin was that The Little Room was a restaurant which expected you to pay by offering books, DVDs or households in exchange for your food. Historical Note: Benburb is a Hamlet and townland in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It lies seven miles from Armagh and nine miles from Dungannon. The Battle of Benburb took place in 1646. This was fought between the armies of Confederate Ireland led by Owen Roe O'Neill and the Scottish Covenanters led by Munro. The battle resulted in a crushing victory for O'Neill's men at the townland of Drumflugh around a mile outside the village. Since the Battle of Benburb was a rare 17th century Irish military victory, after Irish independence the new Irish nationalist government named a street in Dublin's north inner city after the battle.
