Not an Irish Civil War Prayer Vigil after all!

    Something interesting is happening out of frame on the right.

    I was going to suggest that it was during the hunger strike by Terence McSwiney but that was in 1920. There were other hunger strikes but of course you had Barrett, O'Connor, McKelvey and Mellowes executed in November 1922? Could it have been a vigil for them? It looks not unlike Government buildings today but why do you think that it is not London???

    Swordscookie Is it very unscientific and unprofessional to say "just a feeling"??

    I'd like to suggest that this was in fact taken on Prince's Street North, in Dublin.......(that's the one that goes down by the side of the GPO on the way into what is now the entrance to Arnott's multi-storey car park). The pillars look the same but there aren't as many of them nowadays, perhaps a by-product of the extensive damage caused to the building?

    I'm in two minds. The heavy showing of patriotic symbols (flags in hand, harp pins on lapels, etc) make me think this is in the UK somewhere. I know this sounds a bit backwards, but I don't think that a crowd in Ireland would've felt the need to wear their colours quite so loudly. On the other-hand, if this was taken during the Civil War, then it's probably a vigil for Anti-treaty hungerstrikers. Possibly outside a prison. Maybe Mountjoy if it's for one/other of the MacSwiney sisters.

    Truly magnificent photography. The landscape looks terrific. Composition really is an artform.
  • Swordscookie said:
    There are lots of entries in local websites including "Finnvalley.ie and megalithic Ireland. It appears that the area has been modernised taking away much of its charm and the setting. Great old shot and nice to know the well still attracts pilgrims.

    Streetview

    In the streetview, you can see a church . I believe that's where this was taken:
    May 3, 1926

    Most of the Brothers standing in their habits in this are just teenagers! Nicely taken group. The chaps in mufti are mirroring the uniformed brothers in hiding their hands up their sleeves. "The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!" and all that
