lordlieutenant

I think there's only one man without some sort of facial hair.

The Lord Lieutenant in 1914 was Edmond de la Poer. I don't think it is the impressively bearded man who has a more mayoral-looking chain of office.

Tne 'movers and shakers' of their day.

The mayor in 1914 was Richard Power, the name Power is derived from Poer, keep it in the family.

Bwana_Samaki Yep, I was assuming the chain is being worn by Waterford's Lord Mayor, and that the Lord Lieutenant (thank you very much for Edmond de la Poer) might be the gentleman seated in front?

Hi, Is that a turntable?

Leonard Bentley Hello Leonard. I don't think so. It looks to me like a beautifully paved, but fixed structure. There is a sort of "gutter" all the way around, so presumably it was a washing area?

The circle is still visible on Google maps. Here is the historic OSI link.

There are 87 people listed in the Demesne in the 1901 census, including: Jarvis David 26 M England Coachman Bruen Michael 20 M Co Roscommon Stable Boy Domestic Servant Bruen John 19 M Co Roscommon Stable Boy Domestic Servant I think it is likely that those three are here somewhere. There are also many gardeners, gamekeepers, a Steward, a Butler and an RIC constable.

Also: Kelly John 26 M Kings County Stable Boy Domestic Servant

From above site - "... The occasion was a Vice regal tour of the coast by the then Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Dudley. Along with other dignitaries they had toured the south coast aboard HMS Juno (1895) examining coastal defences, sights of interest and visiting and/or attending social engagements at Glengarriff, Cork City and finally dropping anchor at Dunmore East on Wednesday 29th October 1902. The plan for the day was that what was described as a Royal Navy Tender Stormcock would convey the party up the harbour to the city. In the city they were to meet the town dignitaries. The report goes on to say that “…Alderman W G Goff, Jr, Glenville… will place his two motor cars at the disposal of their Excellencies. After lunch with Alderman Goff they will take a drive in the neighbourhood. They will then return the Juno and sleep on board, the Juno meanwhile proceeding Kingstown, which will be reached on Thursday morning. Their Excellencies will then return by special train from Kingstown to Dublin ..."
