    Limerick was a bit late in getting a Peoples Park - or that was the view in Limerick
    There was also another project, and which was possessed by cities and towns far inferior in importance than Limerick - and that was a - "People's Park" - with some exertion, the Citizens of Limerick would succeed in having a - "Park"- (hear, hear)
    Mr Michael Ryan, former mayor, at the inauguration of his successor, Alderman Fitzgerald. (Limerick Chronicle - Wednesday 04 January 1860)
  • John Spooner said:
    Work then commenced on the Park 14 years later on 26th October 1874. The mayor was presented with an inscribed spade, then
    The mayor then raised the sod amid enthusiastic cheering, and lifting it into a handsome and fancifully painted wheelbarrow, brundled the vehicle a couple of yards, and setting it down declared the work of setting out the Limerick People's Park to be commenced.
    After more ceremony including laying a foundation stone and speeches there was a "sumptuous déjeuner" (Bassett's Chronicle - Saturday 31 October 1874) [yes, he brundled the wheelbarrow]

    If you cannot remember going there 10 years ago, is it still déjà vu?
  • John Spooner said:
    It finally seems to have opened to the public in May 1877.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I have a feeling that the French / Lawrence photo is newer than the WR&S one. You wouldn't cover over paths in a People's Park, or get rid of a young tree in the triangle. I always forget; is William Ritchie after 1903?

    Streetview GeoHive OSI 25" map. The photographer is on Blessington Street, Berkeley Street is crossing right-left, and we can see the length of Nelson Street.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Trams passing here would have been 9 and 10 to Phoenix Park and 19 and 20 to Glasnevin. According to wikipedia, the first of those electrified was #9, 22 November 1898.

    Here are messrs Henry Lenahan and Patrick O'Neill in the 1901 census
  • Niall McAuley said:
    While we're in the census, here is John Joseph Clarke, today's photographer, in 1901.

    Niall McAuley Niall, I'm only popping in for a moment - will be back later. Would you mind putting that census link under the photo of J.J. himself, if it is he? (I know, I know, what did my last slave die of? :)
