    A bollard is a short vertical post. Originally it meant a post used on a ship or a quay, principally for mooring. The word now also describes a variety of structures to control or direct road traffic, such as posts arranged in a line to obstruct the passage of motor vehicles.[1][2] The American Heritage Dictionary describes this use of bollard as "chiefly British", although the term has crept into the jargon of some American universities where dense traffic necessitates the use of bollards for access control. In the lighting industry, the term is used to describe short, post-like light fixtures. Mooring Bollard

    Did we have this one up before Carol? Its a lovely wedding shot of some very handsome people and as you say unusual in that it is of members of our Jewish community.
  • Swordscookie said:
    I was going to say that there are quite a few with their heads uncovered but of course they would have yarmulkas on their heads having been at a religious service.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I suspect a close perusal of Page 7 of the Irish Times of Friday September the 6th 1901 might yield some interesting details.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The courthouse is still there (streetview). 25" OSI map from 1905 here
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The 1901 census lists 3618 people as Religion: Jew*. 1.25% of them could be in this photo!

    It can't be too hard to find that ecclesiastical looking building on the right. I'll guess somewhere round Thomas St to start with, though no doubt Beaner will beat me to the exact location.

    derangedlemur Okay, accepting your first bid of Thomas Street-ish.

    I believe that is a morris minor van behind the boys.

    What an unnatural pose! Poor Linda O'Reilly looks like a store-window dummy, with her stiletto stuck in the muck. Is that a genuine 'beehive' hairdo?
