hoarding

Respect,.,!!!

is it me or does the river seem high? Also, can anyone verify if the street lanterns on the bridge are the same or have they been replaced with replica's?

Tammy According to this interesting Dublin street lighting site, the gasoliers were "restored" around 1998-2003 - www.archiseek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=3968

this was before the bridge was widened so the lamps on this side may have been changed.

13 June 1911 was a Tuesday, and the horse had no name ...

We were here previously, two weeks earlier -

The Marine Bar was a newly-built 7-day licensed premises at no. 10 Merchants' Quay. (notice of auction Waterford Standard - Saturday 10 June 1911). 'Newly-built' seems to be stretching it a bit - the lease began on 25th March 1900. "The Shop and Bar are tastefully tiled and fitted with handsome Counters, Shelves and Glass Cases, with Mirrored backs, and Decorated Ceiling."

Waterford Standard - Tuesday 25 October 1910:

FRONT WALL ALLEGED TO BE DANGEROUS

At the City Petty Sessions on Friday, the Mayor, Alderman and Burgesses, being the Corporation of Waterford, sought an order against Christopher Dunne, owner of premises in Barronstrand-street, occupied by Mrs. Dollard, requiring him to take down a front wall which is dangerous to the public.

To summarise the rest of the account, Mr Dunne's solicitor Mr Keane said that during the construction of the Provincial Bank (is that the building on the left?) , several old walls had been removed which had caused subsidence. and he had photographs showing the subsidence.

Struts had been put in place supporting the building, and hoardings keeping the public from the building at risk of collapse, but there had been complaints that the hoardings "caused much obstuction"

After much debate and evidence from the Borough Surveyor, the magistrates agreed to adjourn the case until the next sessions.

Excellent collection of posters in both plates. Mullingar Races are gone but replaced by Cunard and White Star Line posters. We have discussed both of these posters before. Nonetheless it does provide a reference date for both.

This is an excellent Black and white Photo. Seen in Black & White Unlimited (pool) Your photo deserves a compliment from the special fish!!! Please be sure your photo is TAGGED "Black & White" Black and White unlimited (pool) post 1 comment 2

22 September 1964 was a Tuesday ...

The only other photo Mr O'Dea took (or catalogued) for 22/09/1964 was this of his trusty Austin Cambridge ZIK 382 outside the station at Tramore - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000307168 . I wonder if these posters were actually in Tramore ?

"Gas - The Housewife's Friend." Does that include the husband farting after a lovely home cooked meal on one of those free-fitted Gas Cookers?

Who are TF and PJ, and what is their relationship to James O'Dea? Why has he captured their mute memorial on a public noticeboard?
