    Looking forward to seeing more of these, great to hear they're now available.

    Channel 044 Well, we're up to Laois so far, but that leaves plenty more to come... Have a look at the whole set!
  • Channel 044 said:
    They're fascinating. Really enjoyed going through the whole stream yesterday, a wonderful resource. I posted a small edit of the photos here: shanolyno.tumblr.com/post/35213963117/irelandeditpart1

    Captain's as in captains of a team I suppose. They both look to young to be naval captains.

    Question please: why the writing at the bottom is reversed?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    TJ It's a glass plate negative. If you look at any of our Lawrence photos (or images from many of our other collections), you'll see the same thing...

    The establishment on the right looks like H C Perry & Son, but amongst those present at the 1896 Licensed Grocers and Vintners' Association's Annual Meeting (as reported in Freeman's) were "Edrwd Irwin Campbell, R Crawford (R Perry & Son, Rathdowney)" [edit] Must be different Perry - in 1878 Mr. Robinson Perry of Rathdowney was described in the Belfast News-letter as Secretary of the Provincial Brewers Association.

    Raglan Cycles: 1896 The company was registered on 4 December, to take over the businesses of Taylor, Cooper and Bednell and the Anti-Friction Ball Co
  • derangedlemur said:
    They built a 2hp motorcycle and forecar from 1902-1903, yet ultimately concentrated on cycle production throughout which lasted until around 1906. So you've got a date range of 1896 - 1906 (plus however long it takes to remove a sign - 20 years?).

    Thanks again! Great resource for additional information on Mr. Sands. Bonus points for finding an interview where he mentions baseball!
