Detail of swanky postbox?

  • John Walton (51) said:
    Is it a collection box for the sick and poor of the parish. If it was a post box it would have the reigning monarchs (when commissioned) emblem.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Walton (51) Thanks John! Could it be Old Pensioners on the top line? Pensioners in the military sense, as this would probably be pre-Old Age Pension.
  • Dru said:
    old newspapers?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I like "OLD NEWSPAPERS", I think it is an early recycling centre!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Dru Niall McAuley Now all I can see is OLD NEWSPAPERS! :D

    I don't know what Restu is - a cleaning product of some kind, perhaps? - but that apart, this little shop seems pretty keen on soap!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Peter Denton Peter, you were too quick off the mark! You commented before I'd finished the description - see above for more information on these 1920s soap products...

    It think that's John's Street.Streetview
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac It is indeed. There're lovely street signs up on the corner behind the cross.
  • O Mac said:
    So there is!!.... The gas lighting looks abandoned. No mantle, no glass, bent poles. That thingimabob far right is a "Tumbling Paddy". Used for gathering up loose hay. When so much was gathered it flipped itself and off it went so on.

    The Market Cross has been moved up to the Heritage Centre (formerly the 1801 Courthouse).

Wedding at Waterford Courthouse

  • Swordscookie said:
    Did we have this one up before Carol? Its a lovely wedding shot of some very handsome people and as you say unusual in that it is of members of our Jewish community.
  • Swordscookie said:
    I was going to say that there are quite a few with their heads uncovered but of course they would have yarmulkas on their heads having been at a religious service.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I suspect a close perusal of Page 7 of the Irish Times of Friday September the 6th 1901 might yield some interesting details.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The courthouse is still there (streetview). 25" OSI map from 1905 here
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The 1901 census lists 3618 people as Religion: Jew*. 1.25% of them could be in this photo!
