    "Assuming an Irish name was not unusual in that era of boxing; there were Jewish fighters with Irish names too; and Jim Flynn, the only man who ever knocked out Jack Dempsey, was actually named Andrea Chiariglione. One reason for the name changes is that there were not enough Irish fighters to satisfy the large number of Irish fans." -- Pete Hamill, "Why Sinatra Matters" (Boston: Little, Brown, 1998), p. 58.

    I can see what you mean NLI, it does have a very Dickensian feel to it. What we of the 21st century need to remember is that there was very little change in the mode of dress, means of transport and building methods between the end of the 17th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The first supermarkets were opened in my lifetime and shopping malls and superstores are really a recent innovation. It is an excellent shot and very atmospheric!!

    Swordscookie I'd agree, this pic is certainly pre-1900. Also, notice the cast-iron water pump in the foreground, of the type still seen around the country today. I like the gas lamp on the house corner too. Here's a view of the same location (approx) on Google Street-View maps.google.com/maps?q=Arundel+Square,+Waterford,+Ireland... All the building seen on the right have gone. Stuart.

    Arundel Gate and castle was in the laneway on the extreme right in the picture.
  • desmondg47 said:
    Apologies, Arundel Lane is on the left
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    desmondg47 No problem at all, and very good of you to come back and revisit your information on this one ...

    philip ward D'you know, you might be right!
  • Swordscookie said:
    The children look just beautiful. Such open, honest looking faces and the young man has his chest stuck out like a soldier. I hope they all had good lives?
  • Mom said:
    My nephew Paul, who was born in Dunmore East, says there are still lots of Flynns in Leperstown!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Mom Wonder if any of those Flynns would be able to identify these Flynns...
