Anyone know what kind of barrels those are behind the two small boys? They look like something for fruit, but they seem to be open-topped. Were they ordered specifically?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Maybe the cooperage made these wooden buckets just for sale and they weren't destined for a life of drink (in the distillery)?!
nilachseall said:
Thanks, they look like laundry basins or, as you say, buckets. I suppose they could have been used in various ways, from providing water for animals to scrubbing floors. No plastics back then, lucky sods!
Niall McAuley said:
This is a bit speculative, but the a search of the 1901 census for coopers in Killarney says most lived on Boherkeale Glebe. The OSI 25" shows trees on the right of that lane looking North. Streetview is patchy in these little lanes, but I think this streetview is a reverse view along that lane, which would, at the time the shot above was taken, have shown the photographer in the distance, and that horses rear in the foreground.

The Grassmarket
Niall McAuley said:
The Grassmarket site says: With a drinks license thought to have existed since it was a 16th Century coaching inn, the present building replaced The Beehive Hotel in the 1860's. A close look at streetview gives a date of 1868 for the building which replaced numbers 18 and 20.

Niall McAuley So 1863-1868 then? Brilliant narrowing down...

Among the Smith-Barry tenants evicted from James Street on Tuesday 17th December 1889 (according to Freeman's the following day)
Patrick Cleary, draper Michael Kennedy, provision store James Davis, stationer Danl(sic) Ryan, victualler Jas Murray, boot manufacturer Michael Cross, draper Widow Bennett, harness maker
We know that Michael Cross and Patrick Cleary ended up in New Tipperary. I wonder about the others.
Niall McAuley said:
There's a Boot man in the arcade, nearest shop on the right hand side of the other shot, I can't read the poster in the window, though. Royal Boots? Boland Boots?
