In large it looks like they both have a net each. The boy on the left is holding the one with the visible trianglular net and the boy on the right has his submerged in the water. Thats how it looks on closer inspection at least. :)

Rihslw alw Think you're probably right. Got distracted by the two little sail boats on the pond...

This might have been me if the photo had been taken 10 years earlier. The pond in Herbert Park was once the mill pond for the nearby Mill at Ballsbridge. This later became the Bakery of Johnton, Mooney & O'Brien (all together now!), where my father spent his working life. This site was later to make a few people very rich,... (plus ca change). The Bakery is long gone and a posh Hotel and Apartments have replaced it.

Rihslw alw Rich, I see a line in the hand of the kid in the middle of the photo and I see this line in the water also, perhaps attached to one of the sail boats ( for retrieval purposes) what do you think? Carol are you off to play with the Mayfly!

I guess it must be this big puddle: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,703177,722517,11,9

As far as I can tell through the trees, it seems to have more or less the right collection of hills in the background. www.google.ie/maps/@53.2436472,-6.4561343,3a,75y,126.71h,...

There were two ponds / reservoirs but one of them has been dry for many years. There is a fly fishing club in residence on the remaining pond (the one photographed). If memory serves the ponds were built to provide water power to mills / factories in Clondalkin?

21 May 1963 was a Tuesday.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Looking at the map, it looks more as if they're to provide a reserve to power Swiftbrook mills. The pond was further downstream in the 6" than in the 25", and today, although both areas are marked as ponds the overhead shows that the downstream one is still just liable to floods.
