    Great photo. I walked past this building everyday when I was going to school. By the way this was the first garage in Ireland.

    Paul O'Farrell That's great to know, and we have pictures of Peares, and of Mr Peare in his motors and his motor boat! Wish the picture of Kelly's in your link was larger, then we might be able to identify individual salesmen in our photo...
  • Bob Montgomery said:
    This is the garage established by WF 'Bill' Peare and WGD Goff at Catherine Street, Waterford in 1900. Peares went into liquidation in 1917 and the garage has continued in use under different owners to this day. It was the first purpose-built garage in Ireland. (The first garage in Ireland was Porters at Montgomery Street, Belfast in 1899).

    Liminality (from the Latin word līmen, meaning "a threshold" [1]) is a psychological, neurological, or metaphysical subjective, conscious state of being on the "threshold" of or between two different existential planes, as defined in neurological psychology (a "liminal state") and in the anthropological theories of ritual by such writers as Arnold van Gennep, Victor Turner [2], and others. DUH!!!

    ‘National Army’ implies date range 1922 to 1924
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Suck Diesel Excellent, Eagle Eye, thank you! We love a good news poster.

    Perhaps the Krazy Kataloguers were muddled with this one -
    "[The Square, Kilcock, Co. Kildare]"

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    If we can uncover the background to AWFUL SCENES, etc., we could narrow the date further?
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    I think it is Kilcock:
