  Each year in my house we had the ceremony of the HAT! My father would begin the process of buying a new hat and it took some weeks of trying on and deciding on what style and colour to wear. He would have had a field day in this shop.

  Swordscookie Wonder if he ever purchased a Falcon Make or a Battersby?

• Swordscookie said:

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons He might have before I was born but if there was an Irish hat manfacturers then he would have gone for that.

• Joefuz said:

  I think the ancient art of hat wearing should be brought back to the country. A good wide brimmed Fedora doubles as a personal umbrella on a wet day.

• KenjiB_48 said:

  I must agree with Joefuz on that score. Hats are a much neglected accessory these days, except by the country music crowd.

  My grandfather was an inspector on the trams, but I have a feeling he started out as a conductor. A bit of a stretch, but it might even be him centre frame. Great photo.

  In the foreground are white lines painted on the cobblestones, or they could be white stones set into the road. Is this a first for these old NLI photos?

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  blackpoolbeach Early pedestrian crossing as in our Cork photo with the running lady?

• heady school said:

  Couldn't find any mention of the name Retz in the census for 1901 or 1911, but have found the phone number for George Retz, Pork Butcher, in the 1913 phone directory.
