Spectators at racecourse

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  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?

Charles Nixon, bookmaker's clerk, arrested for false pretences

from North East Museums

  I think he was a con man!

• jamica1 said:

  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!
