    Great photo. I walked past this building everyday when I was going to school. By the way this was the first garage in Ireland.

    Paul O'Farrell That's great to know, and we have pictures of Peares, and of Mr Peare in his motors and his motor boat! Wish the picture of Kelly's in your link was larger, then we might be able to identify individual salesmen in our photo...
  • Bob Montgomery said:
    This is the garage established by WF 'Bill' Peare and WGD Goff at Catherine Street, Waterford in 1900. Peares went into liquidation in 1917 and the garage has continued in use under different owners to this day. It was the first purpose-built garage in Ireland. (The first garage in Ireland was Porters at Montgomery Street, Belfast in 1899).

Damaged Morris Cowley with NSW number plates '7446'

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

    Poor old Morris! There must be a way to find out who it belonged to and the story of the prang.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think it is a Morris Cowley, after 1926. Previous models had the famous 'bull-nose' - see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Cowley#Morris_Cowley_.281926.29 Close inspection of the radiator badge reveals "MORRIS COWLEY".
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia It seems that until 1930 car registrations fell within the relm of NSW Police, and after to Dept Road Transport & Tramways. Either way it'll be a trip out to the NSW State records!

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/130134923@N07] There's not a great deal of information available on this particular image but the photographer William James Hall worked mostly from his studio in Sydney. It could be worth your while to search the Sydney newspapers of 1915 at TROVE trove.nla.gov.au/ or NSW State Records. If you find anything interesting please share it with us. Good luck!
