Soldiers on Parade...

    hmm Usually i hear of parades or marches for the army (apparently as a power show) ... but policemen parade? I don't know how much common is that.
  • Foxglove said:
    I find the "slow unravelling of the photos details and origins" on these pages through the investigative comments and detailed knowledge of several posters as fascinating as the photos themselves - yesterdays was a great example ...... I'll be back to see what follows

    Hurraah, Hurrah Limerick features on NLI in Flickr but where's this Georges Street I ask. That beautiful thoroughfare is O'Connell St with The Crescent and O'Connell Avenue in the distance. Limerick is of course a very old city but in the 1700's/1800's a planned city on a grid was developed and this street was part of what is/was Newtown-Pery. The massed ranks are marching in the opposite direction to modern parades as we normally had parades that marched down towards the O'Connell Street/William St. junction behind the photographer. I know they look like policemen but I can't see that many "polis" having a role in Limerick around that time. They are marching in the direction of the "New" barracks, now Sarsfields Barracks, and I suspect that this might explain the direction and the echelons.
  • TJ said:
    there seem to be a band marching in the opposite direction???
  • Swordscookie said:
    TJ No TJ, if you look closely in Original size you will see that they have the bayonet frogs to the left just like the group closest the camera. I was just going to comment on the bayonets, they are each wearing a bayonet in a frog on a white belt. This is more a military item of kit than police and looking at the dress of the NCO's they are wearing sashes etc which is once again more a military affectation than a police one.

    Is that the original image? It looks like it's been run through a sharpen filter.
  • derangedlemur said:
    I don't think it's '30s, btw. There'd have been fewer postwar cars about then.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur I think it's 1940s (from skirt lengths and girls' hair dos), and I tweaked shadow/highlight because the shadows were so dark. This'll give you an idea of original...

Big day in Clonmel

    a big day for hats, Clonmel is certainly stylish on top. the women wrapped in scarves and wraps are more dramatic than usual. mounted policeman too. this is a fabulous scene to pick apart

    Mr French seems to have been on the first floor of the Main Guard building; see behind in this streetview - goo.gl/maps/LW8nrEoLCCL3WMr97 The high view means that the distant tower of St Mary's Catholic Church is more visible. In 2009 via Dave Messinger
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The Fitzhenrys are stationers on O'Connell St in the census of 1901, but have retired by 1911. RIC man in a forage cap at left means not much before 1900.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    All the straw hats suggest 1905ish to me.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Main St had been renamed to O'Connell St by the time of the 25-inch, surveyed 1904, published 1906.
