  • Niall McAuley said:
    Based on the fact that it's on a junction, and the ground slopes steeply right to left, I'm going to guess that this shop is at 12 Broad Street. If so, the shop is long gone, replaced by an ugly cubic thing.
  • DannyM8 said:
    I would say that the local Horrockses sales, marketing and merchantising team paid for this photograph. They probably won the annual marketing prize for their efforts here!!
  • Swordscookie said:
    They were a right crowd of Horrockes and thats for sure. What a wonderful shot, not only of the gentleman and his infant son in whom he has such pride but of the display and variety he has in his shop and windows. Blasts from the past - gingham, voile, overalls, flannelettes - this one has it all including the picture on display of the old lady with the loom.

    Swordscookie I know! The only thing missing is Winceyette... Or is it? Screwing in monocle, and having another look!

    The Irish have contributed so much to America. Fought, bled, and died during the Civil War, under both the Union and Confederate Flags. John Mitchel's sons fought during the Civil war, though on the Confederate side. He had his reasons.
  • Nydialy said:
    From the Wikipedia page of Balbriggan, 54 houses and a hosiery factory were destroyed during the "Sack of Balbriggan" on 20 September 1920. The US delegation pledged to rebuild 30 homes and a factory.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Wikipedia says:: On Monday 21 September 1920 during the night the Black and Tans sacked the town of Balbriggan in County Dublin, Ireland. ... On Clonard Street, 20 houses were destroyed. Several pubs were looted and burned including Derham’s Pub and McGowan’s Pub on George’s Hill. Overall a factory, 49 houses and four pubs were burnt down. This is presumably the ruins of the factory.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    On the OSI 25" map (somewhat earlier date) there are no factorys on Clonard Street, but there is a Linen Factory on George's Hill.

    Nice dirty street. You need a pair of mr McDowell's boots.
  • Vab2009 said:
    And a tin bath or two to wash off in. Love the "garage" added to the carriage works, just to service those new fangled autos further down the street. Nearer to 1914 with those?
