Good morning all Flickroonies and here is a scene of intense industry and an issue of location for you from Irelands oldest city. Waterford is a beautiful, ancient and historic city and the traders there have a long history of innovation and style. Hearnes are no exception and this shot shows their tailors at work. Who can help us to put this in the correct location????
Niall McAuley said:
Here in the archive is Hearne's tailor shop window, at number 64.

Niall McAuley Very good Niall but 64 what? The Quay or Georges Street???
Niall McAuley said:
Both! Looking at the OSI site at GeoHive, Number 64 on Merchant's Quay (now Meagher's Quay) stretched right back to George's Street behind. Today the site is split between the Granville Hotel on the Quay and a shopping centre on George's street, but back in the day, it was one site.

The word Overseer comes to mind for those standing up? The workers all seem to be reasonably well dressed, perhaps as a perk of the job they were able to make a suit for themselves? Is there a status attaching to the hats that can be seen in the photo. Ps - the note feature you talked about last week is sorely missed

Interesting to see all the hoists on the warehouses, like you still see in the Netherlands and the north of Germany today.

beachcomber australia May the Fourth be with you too! How can you not know..... That on 8th July 2015 we will make our collection of Catholic parish register microfilms freely available online on a dedicated website. These records, which are considered the single most important source of information on Irish family history prior to the 1901 census, consist primarily of baptism and marriage records and date from the 1740s to the 1880s.

I'd say that's the dome of the St Saviour's Dominican Church on Bridge Street in Waterford in the background (right)
Rory Sherlock said:
