    What a dramatic photo! The sheer scale of material mining is awesome. I found a historic description from the Institution of Mining Engineers (Great Britain). - 1903 - Technology & Engineering books.google.com/books?id=ufUQAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA675&l... Looks like the quarries near Carrick-on-Suir provided a lot of slate for roofing today www.killoranslate.ie/about-killoran-slate.php I imagine it was important building material for fencing, buildings, roads, etc. in the past as well, and I would imagine a lot of it being exported too. Some geological info on quarries in the vicinity www.gsi.ie/NR/rdonlyres/B8AACB00-8FD9-424D-A659-122E183F9... *see page 9 Perhaps others can shed more light? Fantastic photo, thank you for sharing!

    Some of the same folks a few years later in POOLEWP 3641 commissioned by Mr. Edward Dowley, Tinvane, Carrick-on-Suir. Here is Mr. Edward in the 1911 census with 6 sons. The original form says 12 children, of whom 12 are living.

    I know we have seen this boy before, it was over 10 years ago and I do hope we get more details about him and his life.

    Possibly George Daniel Gerard, born 18th December 1900, New Street, Carrick on Suir? Hmm, family address is still New Street for the birth of sister Olive in 1906.
