The registration plates noted are from Tipperary South Riding, does not add much for the purposes of dating the photo. HI 1 to HI 9999 (Dec 1903 - Sep 1954).

O’Gorman premises (Head Office, Sales Department & Showrooms) at 36 & 37 Parnell Street, Clonmel, Tipperary. Comments: I believe the 2 Fords (with starter handles) are the same type? The strange, very clean car windscreen. The near front side, wonky looking wooden wheel. A shop front display, comprising of a radiator, starter handle and lights! Car registration 'HI 424' on the radiator. And a werewolf of place, next door to the premises! See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Gorman_Coach_Builders This showroom is next to Hearns Hotel(which is still there today), where Charles Bianconi established his horse-drawn coach travel empire.

Was this a factory or a work shop Carol?

ClickKen04 Hold your horses, Ken, (or your horse power). There's another one to come, that'll fill in the blanks... :)

Whet with anticipation..................I await the next installment! :)

Limerick CC: IU 1 to IU 9999 (Dec 1903 - Nov 1954).
Waterford CC: KI 1 to KI 9999 (Jan 1904 - Mar 1961).

Was this taken on the same day from the other end of the workshop?

So what happens next Carol? Another 12 months of photos? It has been very enjoyable, and although I didn't come on board until fairly late into the project it has been a pleasure to help with! Three cheers for Carol!

Really enjoyed seeing your postings---hope it doesn't stop there! It wouldn't have to match the date; but surely when details are volunteered it greatly adds to the history of the image and where it was taken - for posterity!!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/resel/] Colin [http://www.flickr.com/photos/bellster//] Wendy: Strongly Agree. By the way quite a few of the men appear in both photos. Perhaps Brylcreem should be added as a tag!

Impressive coat.

Michiel2005 Indeed! He gives off a very aviator/motorcyclist vibe, doesn't he?

Will you just look at those boots! No cheap pampooties there!

amazing shot

Maybe the chap in front with the boots and coat was a driver. Driving a car in those days often meant being exposed to the elements.
