    What a sad indictment on capitalism (or absentee landlords, or both).
  • derangedlemur said:
    What amazes me is how long we took to outlaw ground rent. Maybe you should have published more of these pictures sooner. Still, at least we're better than the neighbours, who are only considering outlawing it now.

    Oh dear - it is eviction time again. Sad and fascinating at the same time. 1888 according to this Trove find about the landlord, Mr James E. Byrne, "The Hermit of Coolroe", who died in 1898. - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/211842833
    WEXFORD. Death of the " Hermit of Coolroe." — Mr. James E. Byrne, better known as the " Hermit of Coolroe," died on Tuesday, Feb. 22 [1898], at Rosemount, outside New Ross. He was a bachelor, and had attained to nearly 90 years of. age. He was a most remarkable old man, who possessed an extraordinary amount of obstinacy and determination. He inherited the Coolroe Estate in South Wexford, and in the year '88 gained an unenviable notoriety by the wholesale eviction of his tenants, who were driven; by inability to pay exorbitant rents, to adopt the Plan of Campaign. One of the tenants' houses, known as "Somers' Fort," was fortified and defended by twelve armed men, but after a long struggle, and chiefly through the agency of the battering ram, it was taken. All attempts at reconciliation or reinstatement were unavailing so far as the landlord was concerned, and the tenants are still at the back of the ditches.

    Here is Sgt. Ruttle's family in the 1911 census. There's a note on the actual form explaining that the Head of Family was captured in the Barracks return form, meaning that the M.R. here is probably Sgt. Ruttle.

    Michael Ruttle, his wife Olivia and their two daughters, Ouida and Olivia (Walker) Ruttle are all buried in Dungar, Co Tipperary.

    26 August 1907 was a Monday. I like W[illia]m E.'s toy boat. Wonder what happened to him?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Sharon Corbet Michael lived to 83, his wife to 85, and Ouida, the older girl here, lived to 86. Olivia Annie (with the racket) lived to 96!

    Reverse view in CAB 8297 there is in view a cycle shop with a Pratt's Motor Spirit sign. So early motoring 1900-1905.
