Interesting photo this because not much has changed in the interim. Shannon Rowing Club in the centre still stands though no longer the force it was in Iris rowing. On the left you can see parts of the Limerick Boat Club which is still there also. The portion of the bridge you see once swung in an arc to permit movement of boats and small ship to go beyond what is now Sarsfields Bridge. The statue on the left I was led to believe as a child was the son of the Lord Gough whose statue was blown up a number of times in the Phoenix Park. They were more successful with this one as the poor lad ended up in the Shannon. In fact as phlgils states below it was of John Fitzgibbon who died during the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balacalva! It has been replaced by a memorial to the 1916 uprising having statues of people with local connections therein. The building you can see on the right was either part of or beside Spillanes or Clunes tobacco factory and was still there into the 1950's.

Going through my favourites and came across this one. This was more the "Quays" than the "docks" in Limerick. I took a photo there just last week www.flickr.com/photos/swordscookie/6475948097/in/photostream and as you will see little has changed. The ship is berthed at Harveys Quay in the basin below the swing bridge and may have been waiting for it to open before going up past it.

Swordscookie Actually the statue is of John Fitzgibbon who killed in Balaclava in the Charge of the Light Brigade in 1850 www.limerickcity.ie/media/Monuments%20(1916)%20007.pdf and www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/highlights.jsp?county=LI&a... Phil Gilson, Brooklyn NY USA

Fond memories of Gateshead Railway Station. Used to get the train from Jarrow, mother used to take us kids to Shepard's of Gateshead, the biggest and the best store. Shepard's had a canny cafeteria.

Look how quiet the traffic is on the Tyne Bridge, even though it was the A1...

It seems odd without Central Motorway.
