    There is a lady in the middle whose hat looks like hair, and a young gentleman seated in front and right of her, whose hair looks like a hat.

    Edit: The gent is Tom Barry ?!

    Here we go ...

    "AN Irish television series claims to have solved an ongoing dispute over the seating arrangement for what it calls the ‘greatest wedding photo of all time’.
    The famous photo – of the wedding of Irish freedom fighter Tom Barry and his wife Leslie Price in 1921 – has long held a fascination for Irish historians.
    The image, taken at Vaughan’s Hotel on Parnell Square in Dublin on August 22nd 1921 – came about exactly one year before General Michael Collins was shot.

    Niall McAuley Looks a match to the map. Gas works and two chimneys and St Marys mill in the foreground and St Peters C of I in the distance. At a guess taken from railway embankment by the station hence the fence line with sleepers. Edit or maybe the viaduct?

    The Rathdrum Viaduct According to the NIAH it was opened in 1863.

    It's just about visible through the trees in this streetview, but there's also a droneview available.

    Sharon Corbet We have bee talking here in Library Towers recently about the Stereo Pairs Collection and one of the suggestions was to ban Sharon Corbet from commenting on them! I did not support that proposal at the time, but I am having second thoughts :-) Well Done!
