    Contrast this with the couple from Ballyvaughan? Affluent, well fed, well shod, well dressed, at ease with the camera and the children had a future to look forward to.
  • Peter Denton said:
    The little boy looks animated and cheerful - quite unusual in photographs of this era. Is that a cricket ball he's holding? Maybe he went on to become a world-class cricketer...
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Old children's portrait trick: a busy little guy will at least keep his hands still if you give him a ball to hold.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Whereas the little guy(?) on the cushion looks about ready to peg the stuffed animal at the photographer...
  • Dora Meulman said:
    Very nice, I really like the little boy.

    Love it...did it change its name to Torries in the 50s I wonder......
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    veronicadawber Well, that's interesting now. Had a lot of info coming in on members of the Torrie family over the last couple of days. There's a Peg Torrie in this photo. You could be right if The Home & Colonial Stores became an L & N shop. The last L & N in Waterford was on Broad Street, and it closed in 1986.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Wikipedia article on the Home and Colonial Stores . They specialized in tea (1/4 per lb here). Stores all over the UK using that logo - eventually merged into Safeways. The faces on those shop assistants at large size! Golly, I find myself sucked right into these old photos ,,, and wanting a cup of tea!

    The main L&N shop was on the opposite side of Broad Street to the. Home and Colonial The L&N had a huge network of shops all owned by the Torrie family. The shops were in several locations in Waterford city and in almost every town in the south east.The business was sold to Super Valu in the 1980s.
