Formidable machines...great photo.Thanks so much!
FrigateRN said:
I meant the men as the tough looking bunch, I just feel that there may be more to this picture that can be said.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
FrigateRN No more detail to hand, I'm afraid, which is one of the reasons I've uploaded it here! Hoping to learn more about both men and machines...

From which we learn that this is July 1922 at Cruise's Royal Hotel in Limerick.

It wasn’t until 1928 (UK) that total voting emancipation occurred for women with voting under the age of 30 (Rep of the People Act). My mum recalled her mother voting for the first time. But yes - definitely a historic day today. I assume it was the same in N. Ireland. When did it change in the Rep of Ireland? This is stunningly clear photo - it is easy to see their features - they would be recognisable.

I've just spent a fruitless five minutes trying to judge whether HOG12 was taken earlier than HOG133 by the length of the cigarettes, but came to no definite conclusion. Just that the one in the middle has a butt in his hand, as do the two to his right.

They are marching to the barracks....on the other side of that bridge.

Lovely!

The building at top right of this one is the same as the building at top left of this (earlier) one nearby:

Niall McAuley Spotted your note for the "works" on the bridge. Was it a swing bridge?
Niall McAuley said:
The narrow part of the bridge nearest the camera was a lifting section to allow sailing ships past. You can see some cogs in the mechanism at the bottom of the narrow section. This has since been replaced with a wider but uglier flat concrete span visible here:

Things in 1922 were unchanged since the the GeoHive OS 25" (which has an incorrect survery date of 1888 attached, but is actually after 1905.) The Bank is still there, the Woollen Mills burned down in the 1940s and a Radisson Blu is there now, the Methodist Church is still there but the steeple is gone, and the Post Office is gone too, replaced by a rather ugly Bank building.
