    Two clocks. To be sure, to be sure?
  • Swordscookie said:
    1,55pm Carol - you missed the clocks in this one, have you still got sand in your ears from your holliers? Just looking at the oil lamp as a standby, you couldn't trust the electricity in those days, the ESB were forever going on strike!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Nick Stewart You can never have too many clocks!

    Such an unusual shot for a film photograph? It is quite different in its approach and composition to most and very interesting for that reason. I was visiting Galway a lot around then but was more interested in rivers and rugby pitches so I can't help with Mullins but the boy reminds me of myself just a few years earlier.

    A butchers shop, I think - so the kid is dreaming of mince. A look at Google maps shows that the building is intact but painted a startling lime green - and home to a creperie called Zatsuma. A creperie in Galway City. Who'd have guessed that in 1964?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Lord Mince, eh? That's what I get for stereotyping children - thinking of a sweet tooth instead of carnivorous tendencies...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    This is as close as I can get in Streetview.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Oh don't talk to me! Spent a good 5 minutes trying to get the same view - slithering up and down Shop Street, muttering ominously that if Mr O'Dea could do it, then so could I. Shamefacedly gave up, but I am bloodied but unbowed. Virtual sticky bun (hot from the wholly imaginary NLI oven) for anyone who can get the same view in Streetview...

    Absolutely stunning. One of the most mesmerising cityscapes of this good ol' place.
  • Swordscookie said:
    I agree with alkos23 that is a mesmerising cityscape replete with tobacco advertising - wouldn't happen today!
  • Nick Stewart said:
    Those searchlights really add another dimension. Brilliant. And is that Gallaghers and tobacco of some sort being advertised top & mid left too?
  • Tammy said:
    this is wonderful! you don't see many "old" photos taken at night!
