Diaphalene for dainty lingerie

  for Dainty Lingerie no less!! Carol

• Niall McAuley said:

  Based on the fact that it's on a junction, and the ground slopes steeply right to left, I'm going to guess that this shop is at 12 Broad Street. If so, the shop is long gone, replaced by an ugly cubic thing.

• DannyM8 said:

  I would say that the local Horrockses sales, marketing and merchantising team paid for this photograph. They probably won the annual marketing prize for their efforts here!!

• Swordscookie said:

  They were a right crowd of Horrockes and thats for sure. What a wonderful shot, not only of the gentleman and his infant son in whom he has such pride but of the display and variety he has in his shop and windows. Blasts from the past - gingham, voile, overalls, flannelettes - this one has it all including the picture on display of the old lady with the loom.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Swordscookie I know! The only thing missing is Winceyette... Or is it? Screwing in monocle, and having another look!

Ship Garthsnaid, ca 1920s

• Robert Carrier said:

  Wow. What a phenomenal photograph.

• Lucy said:

  wonderful

• Jonathan Stiles said:

  Often those young lads fell from the yards, either into the sea or onto the deck. They hoped for the latter as that way death would be more immediate. If they fell into the sea there was zero chance of rescue. The ship sailed on.

• Terrific Lake said:

  best shot

• Jonathan Stiles said:

  Imagine that ship pitching and yawing . . . . they'd experience being lifted and dropped dozens of feet: it would be hard to stay on! A very good account of what that life was like is written in autobiographical form by Eric Newby in "The Last Grain Race."
