Hi, Here is a British Pathe newsreel of a Bray swimming club gala/regatta in 1926. www.britishpathe.com/video/bray-s-c-gala-aka-bray-regatta

From Bray Town Council's website: In 1932 the Eagles Nest ballroom and Café was built near the summit of the Head. The Eagles Nest was for many years the scene of popular dances and entertainment for locals and visitors alike. In 1946, Irish Holidays Limited bought the Eagles Nest and under the directions of Eamon Quinn built the Chairlift.

Whilst we are in Bray, does anyone know where "Clifton Villa" was, and if it is still there? I am trying to find information about a rellie who lived and died there in 1873 - paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=NZ... . Bray looks like a good place to be.

Obviously the Chairlift is not in this shot. I don't think the steps up to the Eagle's Nest are here either, but I haven't yet found out exactly when they were built.

This looks like East 14th Street in Manhattan with the Dewey Theatre visible. cinematreasures.org/theater/21704/

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Police History, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Thanks for adding this to the Police History Group -- Seen in Police History (?)

November 8 - November 11, 1911 New York City Garbage Strike

Italiangerry: Thanks for spotting the theater name; the Dewey makes sense, since City Theatre is across the street. ParkerMulligan: Thanks for connecting this photo and the 6 others in the series to the specific garbage strike and date span.

I assume this is in or around Dundalk.

Yes, but ashamed to admit personal knowledge of Dundalk racecourses is very limited (or maybe that's a sign of my clean living). Either way, it'd be great to get a name, and exact location...

This photograph is part of the Harry Tempest Collectioin and it is the Dundalk Race Course. You can see the Cooley Mountains in the background and the site it still a race course.

rafferr Thanks a million. If you have a second, could you please have a look on the map and see if I placed this photo in the right location?
