    I Think it is called a Billhook and it is used for hedging on the farm
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Mick Huett Thank you! It certainly looks like a Billhook if these images are anything to go by...
  • Brian Mulligan said:
    They could easily be father and son, check the eyes and mouth similarities. A nice photograph especially considering when it was taken!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Brian Mulligan Perhaps you're right - they could well be father and son...

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons There ye go.. Michael Carroll, 63 in 1901, Shepherd. The man to his right might be one of his sons. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Cloubroc... If it is the Michael Carroll as per 1901 census then the photograph was taken before 1911 as he had passed away by then. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_...

    This is a fantastic picture of times past and farming practices long gone. Red raddle has been supplanted by dye markers and so on but this image tells a story of an ancient way of identifying your property. I love the stocks to hold the poor sheep while his backside is being burned. In the background the fleeces are being gathered having been sheared just before the branding! Wonderful image.

Besties!
