  Not sure about anyone else, but I am really thankful to see these kinds of photos online. I could browse them all day if I let myself.

  My Grandfather and grandmother would have known this shop as "daddy Curtis's".

• CailinDeise said:

  Daddy Curtis was a pharmacist who catered for the poor people of that area of Waterford city. He was a lay preacher in the Baptist church and a most genial and affable man. He was a herbalist who went out the country every week with his daughter to gather herbs for his medicines. She carried the herbs home in her small cart that was tethered to her pet goat.

  CailinDeise What lovely "on the ground" information! Thank you. Now have a lovely picture of a goat-drawn cart full of herbs...
