    31 October 1942 was a Saturday ...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Thank you. Noted.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Referred to elsewhere as Cabinet commissioned by Mr. Fredd Schroeter. There's no Schroeter at all in the census, and no Fred Schroeder (most likely actual name).
  • derangedlemur said:
    Date is 1940s, though, so they're possibly recent immigrants.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The catalogue says Copy, and its clearly a photo of a portrait photo, so the date of the original is uncertain. The fashion does not look too long before 1942, certainly not the 1900-15 fashions we are more used to.

Pinafores, hoops, skipping ropes and peelers

    All the children fully shod and two restaurants!
    The RIC man sports the new cap, which limits the date range.
    Looks circa 1900
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Suck Diesel The street falling away behind them probably leads down to the sea so that might explain the restaurants but every child well shod is somewhat at odds with the other dress,

  • Suck Diesel said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes, streetview shows the sea in the distance
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Many of the children are holding satchels. Perhaps a school outing? I seem to remember that the WR&S pics are all 1900 to 1905 or some similar range. There was never a railway, and we are before the motor bus, so the children are likely local? But there were passenger steamers running to Moville, the children could be from Derry on a trip.

He's got the whole world in his hands!

    Yes a brutalist (monstrosity) glory to god...
    there are as many bicycles as people... Flann would be pleased
  • Seán Ó Domhnaill said:
    Wow! For some reason I thought this looked like Spain. It doesn’t look like your typical Irish church from that period.
  • Ghost Radio said:
    Yes, it is still standing. Turner's Cross, Cork. Our own Christ the redeemer in Cork. Who needs Rio?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Foxglove Seán Ó Domhnaill Absolutely, I need to see wider shot of the church to try to get the entrance in context.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Ghost Radio Very good, Carnival Cross, Cork!
