Great continuity in subject matter and shots Carol, this does illustrate the fact that the building was gutted in the fire. That bell on the shot next door is really impressive, I'd say many a man and woman stood under that to dodge the rain on soft spring days?

It's also pretty impressive that the facade remains intact. I wonder if it was supported by a steel girder... I'm not sure how often such building techniques would have been employed in provinical Irish cities in at the turn of the century

The Granville Hotel is still there, and now includes all of the burnt-out site.

I was wondering what a giant bell was doing outside a Chemist's, until I saw the sign down below the window!

The two hand-powered fire pumps are marked with the War Department broad arrow. They look similar to this Tilley fire engine. www.cambsfire.gov.uk/news/Archive/2103.php Two rows of men stood either side and worked the handles up and down like a seesaw.

I'm sure that he was just thrilled to be standing in the water and mud . Allies were ordered not to give up any ground ( that dictated were the tranches were placed ) , on the other hand Germans were opting for high ground to keep them relatively dry. Guess were all the stuff from German trenches end up ?


“ And kind old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp. “
Pink Floyd
