    I'm sure most of them were glad to be going back to Dear Old Blighty - certainly this guy from the looks of that smile!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Stuart Absolutely, Stu!
  • Peter Denton said:
    I'm all in favour of "don't frighten the horses", but this seems a bit extreme!
  • Jim Griffin said:
    Was it normal, I wonder, to blindfold horses on boats?
  • outgoing way said:
    I never tire of the photos posted by the NLI, thanks!

    They are marching to the barracks....on the other side of that bridge.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Lovely!

    The building at top right of this one is the same as the building at top left of this (earlier) one nearby:
    Our first Chimney Sweep?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Spotted your note for the "works" on the bridge. Was it a swing bridge?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The narrow part of the bridge nearest the camera was a lifting section to allow sailing ships past. You can see some cogs in the mechanism at the bottom of the narrow section. This has since been replaced with a wider but uglier flat concrete span visible here:

    Things in 1922 were unchanged since the the GeoHive OS 25" (which has an incorrect survery date of 1888 attached, but is actually after 1905.) The Bank is still there, the Woollen Mills burned down in the 1940s and a Radisson Blu is there now, the Methodist Church is still there but the steeple is gone, and the Post Office is gone too, replaced by a rather ugly Bank building.

    Armagh?
  • John Spooner said:
    I assume the four on the front row are gentlemen of the press, heads down as they scribble in their notebooks. All that's missing is a piece of paper with "PRESS" written on it tucked into a trilby's hatband.

    Correction Michael Collins at St. Enda’s School, Rathfarnham, Dublin, addressing a meeting to promote the National Loan in 1920. 1966 edition of ‘The Capuchin Annual'
  • John Spooner said:
    The moustache: from facebook "Some of the less common photographs we see of Michael Collins are from a period during the Treaty negotiations in which he sported a moustache." Pathe news: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcNXfMBBzB0&t=19s
  • John Spooner said:
    Suck Diesel I hesitate to cast doubt on the details in the Capuchin Annual, but if it's St Enda's School it might be September 1921. That would also match the moustache date Dublin Evening Telegraph - Thursday 08 September 1921(Dublin Evening Telegraph - Thursday 08 September 1921)
