  Niall McAuley That question remains unanswered! Back at you.

  Niall McAuley What age do you think Dr Mannix is in the photo?

• Suck Diesel said:

  Throwing baseball at Polo Grounds on August 1, 1920 at the Yankees-White Sox double header game. How does he compare in age with our photo? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Mannix#/media/File:Australia...

• beachcomber australia said:

  Trove is full of Mannix stuff, but I have had no luck finding a dinner with the Irish President in the 1930s or 1940s. Yet. Daniel Patrick Mannix (4 March 1864 – 6 November 1963) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Mannix adb.anu.edu.au/biography/mannix-daniel-7478

Now Constable, what are you going to do about this?

  If Feb 1922 (though fashion may be more recent) . . . ."a monster demonstration for the purpose of demanding the release of all Irish political prisioners at present in English jails including the Connaught Rangers was held on Sunday under the auspices of the Irish Self-Determination League of Great Britain. speeches were delivered from three platforms and the Tricolour was displayed around the monument . . . . Art O'Brien . . . . Sean Wickham . . . ." (Weekly Freeman Sat. 18 Feb 1922 Pg. 5)

  [Aside] I never knew this: "The column also had a symbolic importance to Adolf Hitler. If Hitler's plan to invade Britain, Operation Sea Lion, had been successful, he planned to move it to Berlin." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson%27s_Column

• Niall McAuley said:

  From Trove: A large Irish demonstration in Trafalgar-square demanded the release of 180 Irish prisoners who ara still in gaol, on the ground that their retention was at variance with the spirit of the Irish agreement. Article from The Advocate, Melbourne, 16 Feb 1922, in a longer article about Irish News. Doesn't give the date of the protest.

King's Cross Reconstruction Work

from The National Archives UK

• mikeyashworth said:

  Hmm, I'm minded to think this may well be earlier - the large scale works to reconstruct the Circle/H&C/Met platforms here was completed in c1936/8 and I suspect this may show that work. Also - trams not trolleybuses as you'd have found post-war. I'll check.

• JB (KK 69521) said:

  I agree - the buses suggest mid to late 30s, and tram routes round Kings Cross were converted to trolleybus operation in 1938.
