Nice photo. Before I was born & not being Irish- I also don't know what the Hell they were doing, but it seems that it interested many people back then - - -

Barton was the name of Erskine Childers mother and they were part of the Barton and Guestier wine growing and shipping company. The original Barton was Thomas - is it possible that the two are related. I tried to google the name but did not do too well. It does appear that the Childers family had strong connections to Waterford.

Swordscookie Well, keep at it! ;) No T. Barton in Waterford in either 1901 or 1911 census...

Swordscookie Re Barton and Childers, see our OTHER Flickr photostream (that's swanky for you)!

It may be a red herring, but a "Bovril boat" was a boat used in London to carry sewage out to sea ([en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril_Boats]). The small boats in the foreground don't seem to match the description, but perhaps the larger ones in the background do.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Thanks for the clock. Looks like noon, unless the clock needs fixing. Perhaps the local watchmaker can help ...

Ankle length skirt, top hat on yerman, we are a lot closer to 1900 than 1936

Rathmines Town Hall opened in 1896 (earliest date).
" ...The clock in the tower was made by Chancellor and Son of Bachelors Walk, but it was unreliable and the time shown on the different faces were inconsistent, so the clock became known as the "four-faced liar". ... "

Dublin Evening Mail - Wednesday 12 December 1906. Kearns the watchmaker was a JJ just like his neighbour at number 74.

beachcomber australia Glad you brought up unreliability. Is it just my ancient wonky eyes, or is the left-hand hand face not as exactly on High Noon?
