Now I'm no Gun expert but the handgun and holster has caught my eye. Firstly unusual length for holster to hang from belt what was the reason for this? Secondly the pistol handgrip has the shape of the Mauser C-96 and if so I this indicates German purchase?

Nice capture.

sure looks like a broomhandle Mauser. There was one on here a while ago, long time ago, we also found it based on the handle. They made millions of these, pretty common during WW1. Could go full auto, a bad boy. I imagine there were a few floating around post-war. www.spike.com/video-clips/n2wj7z/deadliest_warrior-weapon... Thompson has the circular magazine, 50 rounds I think. Chicago Piano we called them over here.

Not the SS Lady Wicklow and not taken at Passage West. This is the London & North Western Railway Company's Dublin/Holyhead ferry S.S. Arvonia at Albert Quay, Cork. She was requisitioned as a troopship in Aug 1922 by the irish Free State and later used as an internment ship..... taken sometime after General Dalton landed 456 men at Passage West on August 8th. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000280472

Personally, I cannot imagine a Canadian destroying anything. I have never met a Canadian I didn't like -kind of like New Zealanders, in that regard.

Mr Spooner is your man for details of the London Clown Cricketers... Yesterday by chance I came across an account of a cricket match played on the Northolme in 1851. It appeared in the Hull Packet and East Riding Times on July 18th 1851, and in 1874 a rather bizarre-sounding match took place there - 13 London Clown Cricketers against 16 of Gainsborough and district.

DannyM8 Aha! And 1874!!

Wikipedia reports that Cork had "a short-lived horse-tram service in the 1870s" More from wikipedia: implemented in 1872 by the Cork Tramway Company. However, the company ceased trading in 1875 after Cork Corporation refused permission to extend the line, mainly because of objections from cab operators to the type of tracks which - although they were laid to the Irish national railway gauge of 5 ft 3in - protruded from the road surface.
