Fish caught on the pier - "Fernandina Beach"

    You’d go to jail for catching that many trout today.

    Loving this set so far!
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    Hi Paul, Really glad you like it. I've tried to create a sort of 'historical tour' of the River. If you look at the album it should take you along the Wear from the Piers all the way to Pallion. Have a great weekend.
  • optimal chicken said:
    Thank you. You too!

    Somewhere near here? goo.gl/maps/SeLi1S5P3KZXMM35A It has hardly changed in 115 years. 7 May 1905 was a Sunday ... hence the Sunday best hats?

    A sidecar and a bicycle. Passage East, not the other one.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Strongbow landed here in 1170, on his second visit, with several hundred knights. A ferry operated at the time of photo, and still does, acrosss the Suir to Ballyhack in Co. Wexford, saving over 30-miles by road. The notorious Geneva barracks were just south of here.
  • John Spooner said:
    Megazoom releals some men standing in the street (just outside what is now the post office ) with their hands in their pockets, as if waiting for a bar to open. Could this possibly be a clue as to the time of day the picture was taken? (just before 2 p.m. if my understanding of Irish licensing laws in the early 20th century is correct)
  • Swordscookie said:
    John Spooner yes John, on a Sunday that would have been right for those outside of Dublin. Dublin enjoyed the "Holy Hour" until quite recently but that only applied Monday to Saturday.
