I see the car has a chauffeur.

DannyM8 That's great, Danny, as it's not possible to tell from the photo that Curries at no. 4 Castle Street is a bakery/confectionery. Dating's good too - I think this is quite a late Lawrence photo. And the Curries were Congregationalists. Don't think we've come across too many of them up to now.

P.S. Fógra: Our curator of photographs here at the National Library, Elizabeth Kirwan, is looking for some help. She hopes to identify the women in this Liberty Hall photograph, and to establish the date it was taken. It's been languishing rather unloved here for almost 13 years. So it'd be great if some of ye could help us revisit it, once you've finished with today's photograph, of course!

The fourth son, Vincent James O'Connell, was an architect ... Architect and engineer, of Earl Street, Dundalk, active from the first decade of the twentienth century until 1950 or later. Vincent O' Connell, fourth son of Henry O'Connell, grocer, of Dundalk, and his wife, Mary, was born in Co. Louth in 1882 or 1883. He became a pupil in the office of of HAGUE & amp; MCNAMARA in Dublin(1) before setting up in practice in Earl Street, Dundalk, in 1906 or earlier. He was appointed engineer to the Newry Port and Harbour Trust in 1910 in succession to JAMES BARTON (2) and had opened a branch office in Newry by the autumn of 1911.(3) He married after 1911, when, according to the 1911 census, he was still living as a bachelor with his parents in Earl Street, Dundalk. By 1944 he had taken a son into partnership, practising as V.J. O'Connell & Son. ... See - www.dia.ie/architects/view/4107/O%27CONNELL-VINCENTJAMES

Suck Diesel Any info on that IWWU photo you have, will be very gratefully received. But could you comment under that photo, rather than here, so all the information stays together?

Good morning all Flickroonies and here is a scene of intense industry and an issue of location for you from Irelands oldest city. Waterford is a beautiful, ancient and historic city and the traders there have a long history of innovation and style. Hearnes are no exception and this shot shows their tailors at work. Who can help us to put this in the correct location????

Here in the archive is Hearne's tailor shop window, at number 64.

Niall McAuley Very good Niall but 64 what? The Quay or Georges Street???

Both! Looking at the OSI site at GeoHive, Number 64 on Merchant's Quay (now Meagher's Quay) stretched right back to George's Street behind. Today the site is split between the Granville Hotel on the Quay and a shopping centre on George's street, but back in the day, it was one site.

The word Overseer comes to mind for those standing up? The workers all seem to be reasonably well dressed, perhaps as a perk of the job they were able to make a suit for themselves? Is there a status attaching to the hats that can be seen in the photo. Ps - the note feature you talked about last week is sorely missed
