    Limerick was a bit late in getting a Peoples Park - or that was the view in Limerick
    There was also another project, and which was possessed by cities and towns far inferior in importance than Limerick - and that was a - "People's Park" - with some exertion, the Citizens of Limerick would succeed in having a - "Park"- (hear, hear)
    Mr Michael Ryan, former mayor, at the inauguration of his successor, Alderman Fitzgerald. (Limerick Chronicle - Wednesday 04 January 1860)
  • John Spooner said:
    Work then commenced on the Park 14 years later on 26th October 1874. The mayor was presented with an inscribed spade, then
    The mayor then raised the sod amid enthusiastic cheering, and lifting it into a handsome and fancifully painted wheelbarrow, brundled the vehicle a couple of yards, and setting it down declared the work of setting out the Limerick People's Park to be commenced.
    After more ceremony including laying a foundation stone and speeches there was a "sumptuous déjeuner" (Bassett's Chronicle - Saturday 31 October 1874) [yes, he brundled the wheelbarrow]

    If you cannot remember going there 10 years ago, is it still déjà vu?
  • John Spooner said:
    It finally seems to have opened to the public in May 1877.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I have a feeling that the French / Lawrence photo is newer than the WR&S one. You wouldn't cover over paths in a People's Park, or get rid of a young tree in the triangle. I always forget; is William Ritchie after 1903?

    Younger, firmer Butt - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000286624
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the DIB: Butt was Conservative MP for Harwich from May to July 1852, being elected later that year for Youghal, holding the seat until defeated in the election of July 1865; he sat for Limerick from September 1871 until his death. 1879 Also: Home Government Association established at a meeting in May 1870. This initiative developed in part from the ‘Limerick Declaration’ of 1867, signed by a large number of catholic clergy and organised by Richard Baptist O'Brien (qv), dean of Limerick, himself one of Butt's closest political confidants during these years. I don't see any earlier connection to Limerick, so the pic may date from 1871-79?

    Is Mrs Flynn the only [edited] commercial [edited] woman photographer/studio owner we've had in all these years, aside from Elinor Wiltshire? Or am I going soft in my dotage?
