    9 out of 32 are wearing spectacles (28.125 %).

    beachcomber australia I was using my own spectacles to zoom in on their faces too. It's so interesting that even in a habit that was supposed to quash individuality, some personalities could not be suppressed.

    Sisters of Mercy
    “The sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
    They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
    And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
    Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long”

    The DIA puts construction of the building at 1883-85
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Lowson were there in 1890. No Wilson, Carswell, or Photo shop.

    Lowson gone by 1901, Calvert stockbroking here.

    But McCulloch is in Queen's buildings both dates, and I see Charles & Russell photographers in 1901.

    I think we are between 1890 and 1901.
  • Philip Mayer said:
    The building on the left looks interesting.
    I hope somebody can identify it?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    philipgmayer The fancy one with the railings? That's the Reform Club itself, I think.
  • John Spooner said:
    Dissolution of partnership clearance sale of Wilson & Carswell advertised first in the Ulster Echo on 3rd February 1881, and the latest I can see is in the Portadown News on 29th May 1886.

    Breaking up is hard to do.

Overcoats and Swimsuits in Skerries

    I remember, as a child, digging down in the sand in Skerries (perhaps 65 years ago). Obviously not digging far, but hitting a layer of black stuff. My parents told me it was oil. It had a very particular smell. I still remember it. I still wonder what it was. It happened more than once.
  • Marcel Mac Duchamp and Rroseeen Ní Shélavy in Infrat(h)in said:
    The answer, according to A.I.:

    The Science Behind the 'Black Oil' Layer

    The Lack of Oxygen (Anoxia): On popular beaches like Skerries South Beach or North Strand, the top few inches of sand are constantly turned over by waves and the tide, keeping them well-oxygenated and clean. However, just a short distance below the surface, the tightly packed sand particles block fresh water and oxygen from penetrating.

    Decaying Organic Matter: Over time, bits of seaweed, marine organisms, and organic silt get buried under the shifting sand. In an environment devoid of oxygen, normal decomposition cannot happen. Instead, specialized anaerobic bacteria take over to break down this organic material.

    The Chemical Reaction: These bacteria "breathe" sulfates (which are abundant in seawater) and exude iron sulfides. It is this iron sulfide that dyes the sand grains a deep, jet-black color and gives it a slick, greasy texture that looks identical to oil.
