    Ha. Let's debunk the date. The shadows on this one are actually pretty good so I will hie me to the solar calculator to start with (though frankly, 45 degrees above the horizontal looks pretty much like July 6th to me).

    derangedlemur Watching you anxiously! Don't want anyone to argue that this poster was printed on a recently patented weatherproof paper and may actually have been in situ for years... :)
  • derangedlemur said:
    Actually about 60 degrees above the horizon, which makes it roughly eleven o'clock on the 6th of July.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Could be a week or so either side. I haven't put much care or attention into gauging the angles.

    First! (I have nothing sensible to say).
  • derangedlemur said:
    Apparently the chancel of St. Macartin's was enlarged in 1889. I can't tell from the photos if that's happened already in the older one though.
  • derangedlemur said:
    St. Michaels:" Largely built between 1870-75 to just above the belfry – the spire was added more recently. The interior is large and gloomy..."
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur Which/where is St. Michael's?
  • derangedlemur said:
    The barn on the right. "more recently", incidentally seems to mean mid '90s, so it's not in the other picture either.

    Looks to me like this was taken from my old school, Portora?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Nick Stewart I think so, from the angle.
  • Paul said:
    Walter was a real gentleman. Yep, that is taken from Portora and there in the lower foreground is the open air swimming pool, scene of manys a freezing cold swimming experience.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Paul Thanks for all your notes on the photo - have added them into our tags. Did you know Walter Brady then? I didn't know he had died... Here are all of Walter's photos (not yet digitised) that we have from the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I went to school with his son, David. So I did not really know him that well, just as a really friendly Dad of my friend. I remember seeing some of his photos years ago and would be keen to see more. As far as I recall he was a great man for the slides and had hundreds, if not thousands.
