    POINT OF INFORMATION Today 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 The Irish Web has been archived by the NLI over the past several years and this has led to the archiving of the photostream.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!

    Love this title too - "A map of lands and properties at Rosenallis Nutgrove Rinn and Shanbeg in the barony of Tinnahinch and Queens [Leix] County. Names of tenants & acreage of holdings shown." (1770-1840) Includes this little corner of the world - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000302394 Ed. Says Rosenallis was part of General Dunn's estate in 4/1/17 (1817?)

    The Commercial Car Company was later known as Commer , and the brand name survived into the 1970s as part of Humber and then Rootes.

    Niall McAuley Thanks Niall! Commer added as a tag now...

    The factory at Luton didn't open until 1906...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Oooh, so our (speculative) dating is completely off. Right, executive decision, going for 1907, and then reg. no. investigation can help... Thanks again, Niall.

    Tyre pressure I think not, with these solid rubber tyres.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Michiel2005 Ah, point taken.
  • Michiel2005 said:
    It might have something to do with weight. In those days you bought the chassis and the engine and then you went to a coach builder to have a coach fitted on it. The chassis builder indicated the amount of weight permissable.

    In the archive, a rear view of todays bus, IM 180, at Leenane. On the back is painted Tourist Car Clifden Westport, so I imagine they are going to Clifden via Leenane.

    to a modern eye the piles of horse manure are more numerous than expected. So neatly gathered for collection, the chicken seems to be getting a god feed of grubs/flies.

    Both IM 180 and IM 181, along with IM 179 are in the 1915 Irish Motor Book as being Char-a-bancs owned by Midland G.W. Railway, Broadstone.
