Millard & Robinson 39 Sackville Street Lower. First listed in 1863, as Thomas Millard. From 1865 to 1887, Millard & Robinson. As John Tyndall was born in 1820 he would have been 45 years old when M and R established... He looks a lot younger here? Something amiss?

Here he is circa 1850 according to - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyndall via Royal Institution

So who's J. Glastrick?

I'm not convinced that this is John Tyndall the physicists.

The inquest was held on the 27th October 1920, according to the Pall Mall Gazette of that day.

An article on Father Dominic: Fr Dominic ministered to MacSwiney throughout his hunger strike in Brixton Prison and was present at his death on 25 October 1920.

The prison at Brixton still has a tall brick wall like the one seen at right, as in this Streetview. (Not suggesting that is the same spot).

Here they are outside the gate with some police officers.

How is he walking with just one leg??

"Augustine Birrell KC (19 January 1850 – 20 November 1933) was a British Liberal Party politician, who was Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1907 to 1916. In this post, he was praised for enabling tenant farmers to own their property, and for extending university education for Catholics. But he was criticised for failing to take action against the rebels before the Easter Rising, and resigned. A barrister by training, he was also an author, noted for humorous essays. ... " More at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine_Birrell Ed. - Also including this which might explain the look on his face in 1914 - "Personal Life While Birrell's first phase as Chief Secretary was a clear success, the period from about 1912 onwards saw something of a decline in Birrell's career which was also mirrored in his domestic life. Birrell's second wife Eleanor had been suffering from an inoperable brain tumour and this eventually caused her to lose her sanity. This affected Birrell deeply, privately and publicly, but he did not tell his political colleagues, who were simply given to understand that she did not care for social life. There were two sons of the marriage Francis and Anthony. The quality of his public work deteriorated and as one historian has noted the severe personal strain must have been a contributory factor in "...the uncharacteristic combination of excessive zeal and indecision which marked [Birrell's] response to the Dublin industrial agitation of 1913".[39] Only after Eleanor died in 1915 did Birrell begin to regain some of his old energy and effectiveness as a minister."

Via Trove, a couple of glowing contemporary (1916) articles about Mr Birrell - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/145762823 trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/220918796

And, on and on it goes and will continue.

The stairs behind him might be these ones, on Downing St alongside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
