    Monkey went nuts with 'Caronia' photos; 15 at least - catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=caronia+morgan&am...
    It looks like the ship is anchored there. And Monkey swung by several times as the white yacht moves around. And something is going on with the lifeboats ...
  • John Spooner said:
    The Caronia called at Dun Laoghaire in early June according to the Belfast News-letter, though it just mentions that the cruise ship had called at an unspecified "Southen port" and Kingstown, and naturally concentrates on the civic receptions for the tourists in Bangor and Belfast. From Bangor the cruise was to continue to Norway. (Belfast News-Letter - Saturday 05 June 1954)

    Finbar Furey the singer went to school there and has a funny story about the place. The family are settled members of the traveller community and lived in south Dublin. While the lads were at school some friend from the music industry visited his father in a beautiful Rolls Royce car and explained that he was setting off to tour Ireland a visit other traditional musicians in their homes. That would involve going up some narrow roads with the grass down the middle and would pose a threat to the paintwork of the Rolls. Mr. Furey proposed loaning them his battered BMW for the trip and the guest left his Rolls for the duration. As it was end of term Mr. Furey went to collect his offspring at Newtown School in a gleaming Rolls Royce. The sight of this well known settled traveller rolling up to collect his family in this symbol of wealth and luxury was a sensation.

    Rack & Ruin You beat me to it.

    Catholic Standard - Friday 31 January 1958:
    Actually the newsprint used in THE STANDARD is from Clondalkin Mills and Irish timber. It is just as satisfactory raw material thanks to the technicians who produce it anything coming from Canada or the Scandinavian countries.
  • Marcel & Rrose in Infrathin said:
    I just realised from the tags that it's not Clondalkin Paper Mills, but I would guess that the poles were there as fodder for the mill.
  • Marcel & Rrose in Infrathin said:
    I worked there around 1971/72, so my memory of it would be very fuzzy. Further perusal of the tags suggests they are poles that would have been used by the electricity board as electricity cable carrying poles on the streets. Duh!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Rack & Ruin John Spooner I think that you are both right and that the caption is incorrect. My experience of both ESB and P&T pole fields was that they were of varying length and a lot more higgledy piggledy tha those neat piles! The poles had also bee soaked in preservative and were smelly!
  • Marcel & Rrose in Infrathin said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I have been trying to work out the geography, and cannot see the Round Tower close by (unless it's behind the trees), and what I thought was Orchard Road (where I lived), might not be it.
