    That yoke looks more like an "Autocycle" as distinct from a motor cycle Carol. There used to be a distinction between the two, a motorcycle was built to be motorised but an Autocycle was a bike with engine, usually a small 2 stroke mounted on the front wheel but occasionally driving the chain as in this one. But I could be all wrong - again;-)))

    Swordscookie A swift Google makes me think you're right! Hastily amending title and text, thank you!

    Niall McAuley Thanks Niall. Doesn't seem to be any sign of her in 1911. Interesting that her adult children are all just described as daughter/son of farmer and publican.

    Here's Ardmalin on the GeoHive 25" from 1900, I don't see an obvious match for this pub.

    I checked our trusty Irish Motor Directory and Motorists' Annual, and who appears in the 1912-1913 edition but the registered owner of IY 136 - one Major A. Owen Lewis, H.M. Prison, Mountjoy, Dublin...

    Streetview, GeoHive OS 25" link.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The corner shop at left was said to be "nearing completion" in 1909 in the Westmeath Independent, according to the NIAH
  • Niall McAuley said:
    As can be seen at the OS map link, this is Church Street further along, but the near end is Custume Place, formerly Victoria Place. Several of the shop owners can be found in the 1911 census: e.g Campbell, Farrelly, Fleming's Medical Hall is on Church St. proper.

    Charles Fair, Solicitor, has a first floor office at left.

    Our first non-clydebuilt steamer. This one seems to be from Liverpool (I'm waiting for the evidence to download).
  • derangedlemur said:
    "A new steamer built at Liverpool P.S. Sybil (233 tons) replaced P.S. Meteor and became the youngest packet vessel at the Milford station in 1827. She was also the fastest steamer on the crossing with a record of 8 hours 13 minutes for a sailing between Milford and Dunmore East. " Hmm. I'm not sure that ship looks 70 years old.
