    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?

    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.

    Looks very familiar! (will think about the date).

    Shannon I would think
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebee2012] Keep thinking - all suggestions welcome, though from the width I'm thinking the Shannon just like DannyM8.
  • Colin said:
    I was just going to say it is the Shannon, because those barges with the tall chimneys are Shannon barges, methinks. Could it be Foynes before development? Or is it one of the junctions between the Shannon and one of the canals?

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebee2012] Maybe you are thinking of Westport Quay? I am not sure that it quite right for it but it is very similar.
