    27 May 1927 was a Friday ...
    ... so probably everyone had fish for dinner!

    Looks like they were in Ferrybank - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000594039

    beachcomber australia Thanks for the day. And Ferrybank looks likely. Be nice to pinpoint exactly where...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think it is/was where the ABP Food Gtoup factory is; marked on the 1930s map as 'Meat Factory' -

    Stil there, still ugly: Streetview

    I stand corrected, that streetview is from 2017, and the NIAH says it was demolished in 2018. Also this note:

    The grain store or warehouse was occupied by pro-Treaty forces during the Civil War (1922-3) and the uppermost floors carry scars from bullets shot by anti-Treaty forces stationed on the South Quays.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Compare the streetview looking South from Dock road in 2014 to 2021.
  • Seán Ó Domhnaill said:
    Probably a warehouse. It has quite a modern look to it.

    There was mention of the R&H Halls flour mills a while back; early use of the Hennebique ferro-concrete system of prefabrication in Ireland -

    Streetview

    In the streetview, you can see a church . I believe that's where this was taken:
    May 3, 1926

    Most of the Brothers standing in their habits in this are just teenagers! Nicely taken group. The chaps in mufti are mirroring the uniformed brothers in hiding their hands up their sleeves. "The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!" and all that

    Welcome back from your holiday ... a fascinating 1927 group portrait.
  • Robin Dude said:
    The postures & faces are rewarding, to say the least:

    Good boys
