    54-56 Townsend Street, Dublin.

    “…James established a mineral company at 54 to 56 Townsend
    Street, Dublin circa 1867. He was Protestant Nationalist in favour of Home Rule and a campaigner for
    Parnell. He was elected town councillor for the Trinity ward in 1883, deputy chairman of the Public
    Health Committee in 1888, High Sheriff in 1891 and Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1893. The unveiling of the
    Father Mathew statue sculpted Mary Redmond was one of his first public duties. Top sellers for the
    company in 1892 were Shanks Hop bitters and Shanks Orange Champagne. He was a JP for County
    Dublin and managing director of James Shanks and Co Ltd. He was a major shareholder, managing
    director and licensee of the Grand International Hotel at Bray. The licence was transferred to Frank
    Bethell in 1904. He was CEO of the International exhibition at Herbert Park in 1907. The company
    became Walter Brights Ltd circa 1909 and a winding up the business of J Shanks and Co was issued in
    1910..”

    Which gives a rather broad date range of 1883 - 1910

    William O'Duane and Henry Starck designers and makers of the (unpopular) "Dungannon pipes" and also the "Brian Boru" pipes, adopted by 19th /20thoC Irish-raised regiment bands.
    Lots of history out there on the evolution of piping.

  • Dún Laoghaire Micheál said:
    The Duanes siblings William John Victor (1875-1959), Evangeline (1877-1957) & Eileen (1879-1962) were all born in Manchester to Irish parents. The Duane orchestra was still performing in 1939 though by that time Eileen was sadly recorded as an incapacitated former musician.
  • Dún Laoghaire Micheál said:
    Their Limerick-born father, William Henry Duane (1845e-1916) was a Sculptor, Book Illustrator and Black & White Artist - and surely the "Wm. O'Duane" creator of this beautiful poster

    Established in 1859, Dundalgan Press is one the oldest printing works in Ireland. The firm was started by William Tempest, and expanded under his son Henry (1881–1964).
