    Absolutely in stitches here at Library Towers! Just noticed the boy/girl who's managed to squish his/her head in beside Andrew Carnegie's elbow - mad!

    Great picture. In 1901, Mr. Andrew Carnegie offered `to subscribe £5,000 towards the erection of new public free library buildings in Waterford'. At a meeting on 15 Oct 1901, `Mr. Alexander Nelson, J.P., D.L., [c.1844-1921] subscribed £250' to a fund to increase the income of the Free Library (Irish Times 16 Oct 1901). The site for the new Library at Lady Lane, opened in 1905, was donated by Alexander Nelson; see www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... I wonder is Nelson one of the dignitaries in the photograph? Alexander was Mayor for 1900 (according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rulers_of_Waterford ) but the photograph wasn't taken until 1903; the man with the chain of office looks younger than 69 years old and is probably James A. Power, Mayor for 1903-5.

    Paddy Waldron Thanks Paddy! Besides this photo, that's a very useful reference list for Waterford Mayors in our Poole Collection - will help with dating, etc.

    Looks like their is a cutout in the foundation stone to place a time capsule as as is the usual custom,probably being held by a gentleman on the left. I wonder what they decided to place in it.Great photo and expressions.

    Saw a similar scene last year, at the job centre on Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne. Some things dont change.

    Zedexarh Unfortunately not!

    Notice the stern-looking gentleman wearing the bowler hat - not part of the queue I would guess, maybe there to control number of people entering the building at any one time?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Stuart Or a man trying desperately to keep up appearances, and terribly embarrassed to be seen in a queue at a labour exchange??

    They don't wear bowler hats and flat caps in the dole queue anymore. It's all baseball caps and tracksuits ;-)

    Not listed on Lady Lane in the census. The only family the right size in Waterford in 1901 is John B. and Pauline Sheehan & 7 children. Looking at the photo, I guess the kids in age order are M,M,F,M,M,F,F? And yes, that is the order in the census, but a) I could be wrong and b) it could be a coincidence. Also notable about the census family is that John B. is 68 to his wife's 40 - this does look possible.

    They're a tough enough looking mob.
  • derangedlemur said:
    They may be from an institution of some sort, which might explain the haircuts and the lack of Sheehans on Lady Lane.

    John dies in Nov 1910, address WIlliam Street.
