Tycor Road today.

Niall McAuley Perfect, thanks! Wonder if it was a biggish house that's not showing on the OSI.

There doesn't appear to have been much in Tycor (or Ticor as it was spelt on the OSI maps back then) when this photo was taken. The nearest big house would probably have been the Manor of St. John in Lisduggan. This is Tycor on the 25" OSI map maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,658965,611881,6,9

There does not appear to have been any Powers living in Tycor around this time, I wonder if this was taken at Mrs Powers parents house, if so it might possibly have been at the home of Walter and Ellen Hearne. Walter was a caretaker at the waterworks in Tycor and was 72 in 1911. The house in the photo looks more like a small cottage and the kind of place a caretaker might live, bit of a wild guess I know:) 1911 Census for Walter Hearne www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003503919/

Here's what you get if you type Tycor house Waterford into google. That house is not on the 25" map, surveyed June 1905.

New Farm Powerhouse (now Brisbane Powerhouse) was established in the early 1900s. It was designed by council Tramway Architect Roy Rusden Ogg and constructed in stages between 1928 and 1940. Strategically built on the eastern riverside point of what is now New Farm Park, the water from the river provided cooling while the rail link supplied coal. The Powerhouse was an important part of the tramway system as it supplied electricity to the trams, as well as a range of inner-city suburbs. However, when trams were replaced by buses, the Council sold the building to the state and the Powerhouse was officially decommissioned in 1971. The Powerhouse may have ceased operation but it opened its doors to a new crowd. The building then became a shelter for the homeless, a site for target practice for the army, a location for film-makers, and a haven for graffiti artists who want to display their artwork which are now officially known as heritage-listed aerosol art.

I know there are Powers in Ballycullane Co Wexford. If this is a Poole photo, it may refer there.

Of the Powers in 1901 in Ballycullane, James Power, 57, Farmer, is the best fit.

Niall McAuley Thanks Niall. This might well be James Power.

My earlier census link was to 1911, so that James Power should only be 47 in 1901, and is recorded as only 45. Still possible. but now I think Patrick Power, 54 in 1901, is more likely.

And when I look in the catalogue, it says Mr. Power, Ballycullana, Milford Which does not sound like Ballycullane Co. Wexford, more like a house named Ballycullana in Milford.
