    It would appear that this photo was cropped. The original has silly walkers waving boaters at serious talkers. c7.alamy.com/comp/2BWAKKC/the-conference-at-buckingham-pa...

    "DEMONSTRATIVE IRISH GUARDS. REPRIMAND IN BARRACKS. The Irish Guards, a number of whom loudly cheered Messrs. Redmond and Dillon on Wednesday as they were returning from the palace conference, were yesterday paraded in Wellington Barracks. Lieutenant-Colonel G. H. Morris, addressing the men, said he was sorry that soldiers in uniform should have given way to a political demonstration. NOTIFICATION TO SOLDIERS. The War Office has issued an order prohibiting soldiers from associating with the Ulster and National Volunteers.

    According to the Wikipedia article on the Government of Ireland Act 1914: To save prolonged debate in parliament, George V called the Buckingham Palace Conference with two MPs each from the Liberal, Conservative, IPP and Irish Unionist parties. The conference, held between 21 and 24 July 1914, achieved very little.

    The shops and pub are all just houses now.
  • derangedlemur said:
    From Wikipedia: In 1888-9, tenants of the local landlord, Arthur Smith Barry, withheld their rents in solidarity with his tenants in Co Cork. They were evicted and, under the direction of Fr. David Humphreys[8][9] and William O'Brien, decided to build a new town on land outside his control. The area now known Dillon Street and Emmet Street in Tipperary town was the centre of this development and was built by local labour but with funds raised in Australia and the United States. The high point was 12 April 1890, when a row of shops called the William O'Brien Arcade was opened, providing shops for some of the business people who had been evicted from the centre of the town. Eventually, compromise was reached and the tenants returned to the 'Old Tipperary'
  • derangedlemur said:
    Presumably the William O'Brien Arcade is the row of shops at the end. I'd guess from the road-laying activities on that this would be about 1890.

    I can't believe they demolished this after just a year. Bloody vandals!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I believe the arcade was where this massive shed is now: Streetview

    Mildly disappointingly, the barrels aren't the ones from Clare Island.
