Just because they are well dressed, it doesn't mean they are trustworthy gentlemen. They might be members of the "Swell Mob" (a true tale of daylight robbery involving Inspector Barefoot of B division, a small boy and a £30 note).
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
John Spooner Oh for the days when one used public transport to be conveyed to one's residence... Brava Mrs Wells for "collaring" Swell Thompson, and Inspector Barefoot?! Were your Couple of Swells sent to Australia?
John Spooner said:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes, ten years transportation. I reckon there's enough material in Inspector Barefoot's career, as seen in court reports of the 1830s, for a BBC period detective drama.

It looks like Dundalk courthouse.

I can't get streetview in the right place but I think this is it: maps.google.ie/maps?q=Dundalk+Courthouse,+Crowe+Street,+D...

Amazing the way choral festivals are always held near courthouses. It's not like we ever get done for causing a disturbance (somewhat surprisingly, I must admit).
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
derangedlemur Brilliant! I've just been jogging around the square in Google Maps myself (pesky trees), but I think you're absolutely right.
DannyM8 said:
derangedlemur Well done. I think you got it spot on. I saw a portion of this picture posted somewhere recently asking the viewers to speculate as to what was going on. But can't remember where?

No sign of clock tower at the floating dock which would date photograph pre 1880. www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&...

Is the photographer up on Saint Mary's Cathedral?
tonyheaney said:
The photo was obviously taken up on Saint Mary's Cathedral tower. The Shannon Rowing Club is missing here and it was founded by Sir Peter Tait in 1868 and has a very elegant clubhouse on the northern side. Assumption 1 - Before 1868 But the Limerick Rowing Club was founded in 1870 and has a simpler structure on the southern side. Assumption 2 - After 1870, There is no sign of The Dock Clock down in Steamboat Quay which was built in 1880. Assumption 3 - Before 1880 Final Date Assumption is 1867 National Library of Ireland, what say you?

Thanks tonyheaney. I concur. And have tweaked the description to reflect!
tonyheaney said:
I have been pouring over these photos with such curiosity and intensity and the more I look at these images the more my heart skips a beat just to see my home as I have never been seen before. I almost feel like I have been living in 1890 Limerick for the past few weeks, and as such, I have become intimately acquainted with Oul Limerick.
