Near here in Streetview

My father told me the opposite story of a fire in Limerick. A store at the William Street end of Henry Street went on fire and a passing British officer used his swagger stick to break the glass in the windows. A small fire turned into a clonflagration as he supplied a strong flow of oxygen to light it up. Apparently he had to run for cover when the Fire Brigade arrived as they wanted to douse him;-0

Swordscookie That's terrible! But funny too! :D

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/66105333@N06] Very welcome info too, thanks! Never knew that the Granville was owned by Hearnes. And £42,000 was a humongous sum back then! P.S. That photo of the tailors was taken on Thursday, 25 July 1907.

excellent

Looks to me like this was taken from my old school, Portora?

Nick Stewart I think so, from the angle.

Walter was a real gentleman. Yep, that is taken from Portora and there in the lower foreground is the open air swimming pool, scene of manys a freezing cold swimming experience.

Paul Thanks for all your notes on the photo - have added them into our tags. Did you know Walter Brady then? I didn't know he had died... Here are all of Walter's photos (not yet digitised) that we have from the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I went to school with his son, David. So I did not really know him that well, just as a really friendly Dad of my friend. I remember seeing some of his photos years ago and would be keen to see more. As far as I recall he was a great man for the slides and had hundreds, if not thousands.

how wonderful!

They're a bit of a mixed bag aren't they? The only one who looks happy is the young lady on the right.
