In the garden

from Powerhouse Museum

    This pic was taken in the grounds of the Medlow Bath Hydropathic Establishment, in the Blue Mountains...the railway line is over to the right...the Belgravia Hotel (then part of the Hydro complex) is in the background...the casino/ballroom is more or less out of view to the left (here we only get to see the brick archways at the entry level and the shadow cast by the parapet)... Just going on the digitised newspapers, I gather the name 'Hydro Majestic' came into use in about 1906...so it might well have been known as the 'Hydro Majestic' at the time this pic was taken... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/164909488/16884764 - this pictorial feature on the Medlow Bath Hydropathic Establishment appeared in the Sydney Mail, 20th July, 1904...a few weeks after it opened...the panorama taken from the railway side (see 2nd page of link) puts you in the picture re the location...I've discovered that there are surprisingly few historical pics of the Hydro Majestic up on Trove or Flickr...

    A very nice Dog, a Labrador? I am not sure, then many breeds looked a lot different over 100 years ago. One thing for sure it does look a menace!

    Google Lens found Helena Molony ...
    "Helena Molony walking her dog in the 1950s. In her later years she lived in relative poverty, relying on friends for support and accommodation. (M.J. Neary)"

    " ... From the 1930s, Molony was in a relationship with doctor Eveleen O'Brien, with whom she lived until her 1967 death.[21][22]
    She retired from public life in 1946, but continued to work for women's labour rights; she died in Dublin on 29 January 1967 following a stroke.[23] Molony is buried in the republican plot at Glasnevin Cemetery."

    beachcomber australia Far be it from me to contradict History Ireland, but I think material in our Sheehy Skeffington collections all end around 1940. So not sure about 1950s. Always happy however to sit corrected if any evidence emerges...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes, I also think she looks younger is today's photo than the Wikipedia one, which says "circa 1940s". And the hat and coat look circa 1920s -ish, maybe, possibly.

    What is written on the reverse, "Ewes" ? It could be the name of the dog.
