I can't find any rules about attacking the foreman maltster with a shovel. Southern Star (Skibbereen) - Saturday 24 February 1917


BTW Welsh whisky doesn't have an E, whether it's in English like the bottle on my shelf, or in Welsh - wisgi

Via Trove in 1888, from an article about "Irish Wit" -

... In Bandon the distillery of Messrs. Allman and Co. is known by the name "Al-co-Hall" ...

John Spooner The current P.J. O'Driscoll lives up the road from my parents house. Obviously a name they kept in the family. Every now and again his peacocks would visit our garden and he'd have to come collect them. We still have some tail feathers in a vase in the hall.

22 August 1922 was a Two-esday ...

There is a lady in the middle whose hat looks like hair, and a young gentleman seated in front and right of her, whose hair looks like a hat.

Edit: The gent is Tom Barry ?!

Hmmm - wiki says 21/08/1921 - commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tom_Barry,_August_1921_(cropped)_(cropped).png

Here we go ...

"AN Irish television series claims to have solved an ongoing dispute over the seating arrangement for what it calls the ‘greatest wedding photo of all time’.
The famous photo – of the wedding of Irish freedom fighter Tom Barry and his wife Leslie Price in 1921 – has long held a fascination for Irish historians.
The image, taken at Vaughan’s Hotel on Parnell Square in Dublin on August 22nd 1921 – came about exactly one year before General Michael Collins was shot. Collins is seen in the back row, holding his head to one side, and many believe it was because he did not want to be readily identified at the time. ... "

Tom Barry: 'We May Have Great Men, But We’ll Never Have Better'

Yes, looks like a water feature, so presumably on the grounds of some Big House near Doneraile.

I see a townland in Cork called Skehanagh, but not near Doneraile.

the titling says "SKEVANAGH CASCADE NEAR CORK ..." if that helps. Condensed script too, which might indicate c. 1890 -ish.

I have a virtual bottle of 1945 Chateau Latour, Pauillac (which I got at the exhibition yesterday) I will send It to the poster of the most informative comment on this photo. Mary

“Skehanagh Cascade.
Skehanagh, Doneraile, once had an exotic cascade, (pictured) created by Councillor Evans on a portion of the land he then owned. Little is known of it in local memory at this stage, but I am happy to be able to tell some of the story. It was situated in a field on the farm subsequently owned by the Hunter family, whose mother was a relative of mine (and of the local Walsh families of Laharn). I recall staying there on holidays as a student. Mai Hunter, born 1900, remembered it as a child and remembered the old Councillor Evans still visiting it in his later years. In my time the Cascade had become neglected and overgrown, largely reverting to a usual quarry with a mixture of some exotic trees, plants and many briars and weeds. I remember finding the fountain of the photo, broken at the floor of the cascade/quarry, and I recovered it using a tractor and rope. I then set it in concrete in the front garden of Hunter’s house. (Is it still there?) The quarry, which was clearly visible from the road was later filled in and is now barely detectable. I never saw water in it, but I suspect that the nearby stream was diverted into it for occasions. Was this enough to fuel the fountain jet visible in the picture? It being limestone land, there may have been a slugaire hole in the floor that took the water.”

However, this looks much older than to be “within living memory”
