    There is only one Corbella in the 1911 census, Luigi Corbella, 43, House Dealer, a visitor at (I believe) the Imperial Hotel. on the Mall, Waterford.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Definitely the Imperial Hotel, Niall. Wonder what an Italian born House Dealer was doing in Waterford? He was there for the census night of Sunday, 2 April 1911, and seemingly back (or still staying) at the Imperial Hotel 3 years later in May 1914. From looking at other Poole photos of Mr Corbella, he was also at the Imperial back in September 1903. Think we might be able to take it that he lived there? Or at least used it as his base when in Waterford?

Are they spelling out Help?

    Physical Culture was definitely a big thing across Europe during the 1920's and 1930's. So many clubs and societies sprang up here in Ireland (mainly affiliated to those of Britain) that promoted general fitness and 'the body beautiful' image. This was endorsed by governments especially after WW1 when they were shocked to discover how many people called up could not be accepted due to poor physical health. More well known though, is how the Nazis usurped the whole ethos elevating it to a form of national creed. I've quite a number of club badges associated with Physical Culture from this era, mainly from Britain. Here's one and probably the best known example There were also Irish branches of the WHLB but unfortunately I don't have any of their badges as they are much rarer, harder to find and so expensive. Physical Culture gained a boost in popularity after WW2 and through the 1950's, but it's general appeal waned after that. Stuart.

    Are they trying to spell something? Perhaps in Gaelic, it makes no sense in English, duyb?
  • Heady Connection said:

    The excercise pad on the right was manufactured by Spencer Heath & George Ltd. of Ponders End, they were manufacturers of gymnastic equipment. This is one of their machines which was put up for auction in recent years, the Titanic had one of these in its gymnasium. www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2011/03/28/video-unusual-exercise-...

    Strange grouping. It looks like the soldiers are protecting the harvesting. The man with the dog looks like the landowner (plus fours etc). Were they threatened?

    Could the date be wrong?
  • Mike said:
    As you seem to imply, it's hard to say when the civil war was "over" . Really great photo. Thanks.

    Moira Well, that's the question, isn't it? Big house, politicial allegiances, local issues?
