    The stone was bought in by overhead cable cars (Aerial Ropeway) and dumped in the big storage depot. Then displaced onto the wagons.

    Judging by the hat and the shape of her coat, I wonder if that's a woman driving down the middle of the road, but all the pedestrians do seem to be male.
  • Foxglove said:
    in many photos the "bare foot child" is often dressed in tatters; here the kids appear to be well kitted out. Boots and shoes for Sunday's and winter.

    POINT OF INFORMATION On Wednesday 31st January 2018 the NLI Flickr Photostream with all the research and information gathered will be archived. The Irish Web has been archived by the NLI over the past several years and this has led to the archiving of the photostream. Carol has been linking the information gathered on each shot to the catalogue and now the archiving will ensure that it is preserved for future reference for those who may wish to research!

    "An oast, oast house or hop kiln is a building designed for kilning (drying) hops as part of the brewing process. They can be found in most hop-growing (and former hop-growing) areas and are often good examples of vernacular architecture. ... They consist of a rectangular one or two storey building (the "stowage") and one or more kilns in which the hops were spread out to be dried by hot air rising from a wood or charcoal-fired below. The drying floors were thin and perforated to permit the heat to pass through and escape through a cowl in the roof which turned with the wind. The freshly picked hops from the fields were raked in to dry and then raked out to cool before being bagged up and sent to the brewery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oast_house
