SCENES from IRELAND - County Waterford

Cappoquin is also called Cappaquin or Capaquin,

and in Irish: Ceapach Choinn (meaning 'tillage-plot of Conn')

The town is set above the River Blackwater on the N72 main road,

 and lies at the foot of the Knockmealdown Mountains

 It is a relatively quiet market town, the main street is above the busy N72 main road.

Barrons Coffee House cafe is a good place to have a snack or meal if Cappoquin is on your route!

At 4 Cook Street is Barrons Coffee House in Cappoquin, great bakery products and a good place to eat.

The sign of Barron's Bakery and Coffee House, and across the road is the Market House.

A brief history of one of Ireland's oldest bakery founded in the 1880s.

Across the road from Barron's Coffee House is the Old Market House, shop and arts centre (historic information below).

The present Cappoquin Market House, within the town, was built c.1775 as a three bay market house, but records show rebellious activity in a 'market house' in 1640. It is now used as a shop.

A little of the history of Cappoquin and of the Market House in particular.

Across the road from Barrons Coffee house, and in front of the Market House shop, is the memorial to Michael Cavanagh (1822-1900).

He was born in Cappoquin, a former Young Irelander and Fenian poet and historian, who later became secretary of the Fenian movement in New York, He and a fellow Waterfordian, Thomas Francis Meagher and a Major James Cavanagh from Tipperary were instrumental in forming the famous New York Irish regiment the 69th during the American Civil war.
