    They are marching to the barracks....on the other side of that bridge.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Lovely!

    The building at top right of this one is the same as the building at top left of this (earlier) one nearby:
    Our first Chimney Sweep?

    Niall McAuley Spotted your note for the "works" on the bridge. Was it a swing bridge?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The narrow part of the bridge nearest the camera was a lifting section to allow sailing ships past. You can see some cogs in the mechanism at the bottom of the narrow section. This has since been replaced with a wider but uglier flat concrete span visible here:

    Things in 1922 were unchanged since the the GeoHive OS 25" (which has an incorrect survery date of 1888 attached, but is actually after 1905.) The Bank is still there, the Woollen Mills burned down in the 1940s and a Radisson Blu is there now, the Methodist Church is still there but the steeple is gone, and the Post Office is gone too, replaced by a rather ugly Bank building.

    Here he is again in the same spot with two "mass servers", "killing time at the prison" [??!!] - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000535065
  • Foxglove said:
    yes, and i think he must be hiding the cigarette behind him on this one :-)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Could this mean Collins Barracks, as in Michael Collins? It was Victoria Barracks until handed over in 1922, later renamed Collins Barracks.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    According to the description on an exhibition of the Hogan-Wilson collection, he was responsible for compiling the collection, so is the Wilson of Hogan-Wilson. (The photographer was WD Hogan).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    If it is Collins barracks, and he is at the prison, the District Military Prison was at the north end of the Barracks 25" Map Link

    Here is the extended family; it looks like they are in a park with a big fountain behind - a clue to location? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000593681

    27 June 1923 was a Wednesday. Hmm...

    MILITARY WEDDING The marriage took place at Tramore on Wednesday of Captain Thomas Hayes, Kilmacthomas, and Miss Nan Walsh, Tramore. (Munster Express, Saturday, 30 June 1923)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia That is an even more interesting family group and there is even a police presence to balance the militaristic feel?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Nan was often short for Anne. Here is a 10 year old Anne Walsh in 1911, living in a big house.
