    I think he was a con man!

    Doesn't look as though he was starving and stole a loaf of bread
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] I've added the story behind the mugshot. Looks like you were right about him being a con man.
  • jamica1 said:
    Lol what do we think the odds would have been of the shopkeeper ever seeing his 4s again -- let alone any part of the 50 pounds.
  • optimal chicken said:
    Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums It's the raised eyebrow which gives it away. Even the recording of the photograph seems like a challenge to him!

Spectators at racecourse

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  • smrhd (away) said:
    I assume this is in or around Dundalk.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Yes, but ashamed to admit personal knowledge of Dundalk racecourses is very limited (or maybe that's a sign of my clean living). Either way, it'd be great to get a name, and exact location...
  • rafferr said:
    This photograph is part of the Harry Tempest Collectioin and it is the Dundalk Race Course. You can see the Cooley Mountains in the background and the site it still a race course.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    rafferr Thanks a million. If you have a second, could you please have a look on the map and see if I placed this photo in the right location?
