| 説明 | This may have originally been the Star King Restaurant.According to reviews published online there was no real agreement as to the quality of what was on was on offer at this restaurant located in the Galway Shopping Centre but it is fairly obvious from my photographs that they did not generate sufficient revenue to keep the bank manager happy.As the name was unusual I tried my best to establish the origin of the name but with little success.Michael Bodkin, an admirer of Nora Barnacle, the wife of James Joyce, who was the inspiration for the character, "Michael Furey" in the story The Dead from Dubliners. Michael Bodkin is buried in GalwayA bodkin point is a type of arrowhead. In its simplest form it is an uncomplicated squared metal spike, and was used extensively during the Middle Ages. The typical bodkin was a square-section arrowhead, generally up to 4½" (11.5cm) long and ⅜" (1 cm) thick at its widest point, tapered down behind this initial "punch" shape. Bodkin arrows complemented traditional broadhead arrows, which continued to be used, as the sharp, wide cutting surface of the broadhead caused more serious wounds and tissue damage than the bodkin arrowhead. |
