Cindy had previously been pictured leaving a pub in Co Roscommon more than a decade earlier
However, a rare image from 1969 has given an insight into the spectacles which came to the city as it captures a trip taken by circus elephant Cindy to a Belfast shoe shop to try on new shoes.
Little is known about the context of the image but it is believed that Cindy the elephant is the same elephant that had been captured in an image leaving a pub in Co Roscommon more than a decade earlier.If it is the same elephant, Cindy worked on a touring circus and captured the hearts of the people of Castlerea, Co Roscommon after her visit in 1958, so much so that she was buried there after she died.
When Cindy died in Athenry in 1972, Castlerea Towns Trust offered a gravesite in The Demesne where Cindy would be buried. In 2014, Castlerea local Seán Browne had the idea to mark the gravesite. With the help of local businessmen Benny O’Connell, John Keenan and stonemason Declan Hawthorne, Cindy’s grave was finally marked 42 years after she was buried.
