    “AI Overview

    Arklow Pottery was established in 1934 in Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland, and operated until its closure in 1998. It was the second pottery company to be founded in the Irish Free State. The factory produced a wide range of decorative earthenware and tableware, and at its peak employed around 480 people.
    The company was known for its innovative designs and export-driven approach, producing up to 25,000 items per week. Arklow Pottery supplied dinnerware to many top hotels and institutions across Ireland. The company developed its own unique style, with many early patterns featuring 22-carat gold finishes.
    The history of Arklow Pottery is deeply intertwined with the social landscape of Arklow and Ireland. The factory was a significant employer in the area and played a central role in the community.”

    I'm glad to see they have got rid of that 'knuckle' at the bend in the waterway. It must have been an accident waiting to happen.

    I was looking in the 1911 census for any sign of a Pottery tradition in the area prior to the business being started there in 1934, but the search did not reveal anything concrete (or ceramic for that matter). I did find some interesting occupations as follows, High Explosive Mixer, Seafaring Tailor, Cartridge Wrapping in Explosive Factory, Labourer in Cordite Works, Factory Girl Kynocks, Traveller in Tea, Seniptress, Shipowner, Electric Wire-man, Lead Miner Unemployed and Lamplighter.

    Monkey went nuts with 'Caronia' photos; 15 at least - catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=caronia+morgan&am...
    It looks like the ship is anchored there. And Monkey swung by several times as the white yacht moves around. And something is going on with the lifeboats ...
  • John Spooner said:
    The Caronia called at Dun Laoghaire in early June according to the Belfast News-letter, though it just mentions that the cruise ship had called at an unspecified "Southen port" and Kingstown, and naturally concentrates on the civic receptions for the tourists in Bangor and Belfast. From Bangor the cruise was to continue to Norway. (Belfast News-Letter - Saturday 05 June 1954)

    Is the tram we see in the distance a Dublin tram or a Hill of Howth Tramway tram?
  • O Mac said:
    That's a Dublin United Tramways Company tram. The Howth terminus was at the base of the East pier.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac Thank you. Mary

    Electric trams but no electric street lamps yet. And the tide is out.
