    Niall McAuley What was that? 2/3 minutes? You guys are losing your edge! :) Stand by for a toughie then (rolling sleeves up here at Library Towers)...

    Wiki link on Belfast City Hall, completed in 1906.

    I am pretty certain that is Belfast with what was Robinson Cleavers shop on the right hand side. And Donegall Place is the street in leading away.

    Mahony was there in 1911. Boyle, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have been.

    May as well have the OSI link: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,616768,911347,7,9

    Here is a Streetview, but the nice trees planted in the Square now make getting this angle impossible.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Niall McAuley Well, it looks like we have this one covered. Nobody else seems inclined to add anything.

    What about the cars - they should produce a date? Guessing mid 1920s.

A Most Ingenious Device

    Also, a girl's best friend! I have one holding up a fishbowl, a two-drawer version of that four-drawer one in the foreground.

    My Mum had one of these up to ten years ago, my own kids loved playing with it when they were toddlers in the 80's. These can go for a nice little sum depending on their condition. Nice shot Carol.

    My late mother had one just like the one in the foreground. It was also a very ingenious device. The machine tilted on hinges, you lifted the table it sat on out of the way, again on hinges, the machine folded down below the level of the table and the whole thing closed up so that you had a neat table/worktop with a fancy singer stand beneath. I remember rooting through drawers like those and finding bobbins and reels and being fascinated by the movement of the bobbin underneath the baseplate!

    The factory in the poster is of the Kilbowie Road, Clydebank factory, with its distinctive clock tower.

    The Russian poster "Компания Зингеръ Швейная машиъі" means 'The Singer Sewing Machine Company".
