    It is so wonderful to have this stream back and to have received such a warm welcome from so many old friends! I am sure that Carol will be delighted! I had to post this one early as I have an important appointment tomorrow so please forgive me if you were beaten to the punch on Friday morning:-)

    It's so good to see you back on flickr and what a brilliant old photo of Patrick's Street. I love it. :-))

    Terence McSwiney perhaps? "his funeral in Cork on 31st October 1920 attracted huge crowds"
  • ccferrie said:
    Scratch that - there's a video of McSwiney's funeral here www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU16rhRHP7M and the crowds are much bigger and the hearse more elaborately decorated

    My first thoughts are Grand Parade Cork?
  • Dora Meulman said:
    I agree that’s the Grand Parade in Cork, great photo!
  • guliolopez said:
    My initial reaction is to suggest that this is the Grand Parade on Cork also. Here specifically. Looking past the National Monument towards Sullivan's Quay. This is was fairly common spot for public meetings in those days (Collins and others would famously speak from the same spot in the years that followed). The only thing that gives me pause is the lack of detail on the monument - but that's almost certainly a focus/quality issue. Grand Parade - >90% certainty.

    there was the Conscription Crisis in 1918, I see many photos of the crowd online, none from this angle

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Dora Meulman You are correct - if you look at this photo from the archive the "White - Corner Stones" between the Grand Parade and The South Mall match perfectly with the photo above - See here
