    From the linked nli record: Note on back reading: On Saturday 3 huge casks of tobacco were thrown into the Liffey. Yeasterday (Sunday) a Military 3 ton lorry endeavoured to salve the casks on shore but sunk in the mud. After efforts to try and save the lorry a "Whippet Tank" was dispatched to the rescue. Here is a photo of the rescue in the archive.

    This was taken somewhere near the slip (now gone) and the Coast Guard Station on Pigeon House Road. Above the left cask is the G.S&WR goods shed (Point Depot) . That's the old 100ton crane on the North Wall Extension in the top right corner maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,719049,733954,7,9 maps.google.ie/maps?q=Pigeon+House+Road,+Ringsend&hl=...

    There's something wrong with the link in the first comment, but I've found the tank image here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000218257

    Question please: why the writing at the bottom is reversed?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    TJ It's a glass plate negative. If you look at any of our Lawrence photos (or images from many of our other collections), you'll see the same thing...

    The establishment on the right looks like H C Perry & Son, but amongst those present at the 1896 Licensed Grocers and Vintners' Association's Annual Meeting (as reported in Freeman's) were "Edrwd Irwin Campbell, R Crawford (R Perry & Son, Rathdowney)" [edit] Must be different Perry - in 1878 Mr. Robinson Perry of Rathdowney was described in the Belfast News-letter as Secretary of the Provincial Brewers Association.

    Raglan Cycles: 1896 The company was registered on 4 December, to take over the businesses of Taylor, Cooper and Bednell and the Anti-Friction Ball Co
  • derangedlemur said:
    They built a 2hp motorcycle and forecar from 1902-1903, yet ultimately concentrated on cycle production throughout which lasted until around 1906. So you've got a date range of 1896 - 1906 (plus however long it takes to remove a sign - 20 years?).

    Hi, Here is a British Pathe newsreel of a Bray swimming club gala/regatta in 1926. www.britishpathe.com/video/bray-s-c-gala-aka-bray-regatta
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From Bray Town Council's website: In 1932 the Eagles Nest ballroom and Café was built near the summit of the Head. The Eagles Nest was for many years the scene of popular dances and entertainment for locals and visitors alike. In 1946, Irish Holidays Limited bought the Eagles Nest and under the directions of Eamon Quinn built the Chairlift.

    Whilst we are in Bray, does anyone know where "Clifton Villa" was, and if it is still there? I am trying to find information about a rellie who lived and died there in 1873 - paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=NZ... . Bray looks like a good place to be.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Obviously the Chairlift is not in this shot. I don't think the steps up to the Eagle's Nest are here either, but I haven't yet found out exactly when they were built.
