    The National Library of Ireland on The Commons should sell this as a postcard - to send to ex-friends with the message "Wish you were here ... "

    Wikipedia article is very interesting - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilmainham_Gaol Recent reverse view via Sam_Hunter -

    This photo turns up in Kilmainham Memories where it is attributed to Robinson, Dublin. The book was published in 1896.

    Sharon Corbet Very interesting Sharon, perhaps Mr. Mason "acquired" the shot from Messrs. Robinson?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons A couple more of the "Mason" Kilmainham photos seem to be also in the book, all attributed to Robinson. I've got the impression that at least some of the Mason Collection are not photos that he took himself, but ones that he collected and made into slides. One of his Trade Cards is at the Science Museum in London, where he advertises: "Cinematographs, Optical Lanterns and Slides for sale or hire"

    These are the original 3-blade propellers. Around 1909/1910 the forward two were replaced with 4-blade propellers, and eventually all aft ones were also.

Man cages manufactured by Vickers Armstrong

    what does 'man cages' mean?
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    Hi, Man cages such as these were used to transport miners underground and raise them back up again. It's essentially serving as a lift.
  • optimal chicken said:
    Yes. They made them in columns to move men more quickly in bigger groups - some mines employed over a thousand men below ground in any one working shift. The same would be done for transporting lots tubs full of coal to the surface.
