Love when this happens! We have a copy of that EASTER WEEK REPEATS ITSELF poster here at Library Towers, so deffo 1922... :)

Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

There's a Peter Farrell, job coach and undertaker establishment at 66 Marlborough Street (also 49-52 Corporation Street) in Thom's Directory, 1922.

Could this photo be taken from Upper Gloucester Street (now Sean McDermott Street) with Marlborough Street extending southwards behind the barricade and St Thomas's Church out of sight behind the railings and the disused graveyard out of sight behind the curving wall?

The gate at left of this archive drawing of the front of St. Thomas's looks exactly like the gate pictured here.

Wow!

Family, friends, and others (see notes added to photo) greeting US Navy aviators Lt. Louis A. Kloor, Jr., Lt. Walter T. Hinton, and Stephen A. Farrell at Pennsylvania Station, New York, on January 14, 1921. Kloor, Hinton (a veteran of the Navy's Curtiss NC-4 transatlantic expedition), and Farrell crewed a US Navy hydrogen-filled free-flight balloon (BuNo A-5598) on a training flight that departed from Naval Air Station Far Rockaway, Long Island, on December 13, 1920. The intention was to land the balloon in northern New York State the following day. However, due to unexpected weather, the balloon would end up landing almost 20 miles north of Moose Factory, Ontario, near Hudson Bay, resulting in an epic story of survival and rescue taking place over two weeks in the Canadian wilderness. This brief description only barely scratches the surface of this story, and what subsequently followed.
