Nice photo. Before I was born & not being Irish- I also don't know what the Hell they were doing, but it seems that it interested many people back then - - -

Barton was the name of Erskine Childers mother and they were part of the Barton and Guestier wine growing and shipping company. The original Barton was Thomas - is it possible that the two are related. I tried to google the name but did not do too well. It does appear that the Childers family had strong connections to Waterford.

Swordscookie Well, keep at it! ;) No T. Barton in Waterford in either 1901 or 1911 census...

Swordscookie Re Barton and Childers, see our OTHER Flickr photostream (that's swanky for you)!

It may be a red herring, but a "Bovril boat" was a boat used in London to carry sewage out to sea ([en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril_Boats]). The small boats in the foreground don't seem to match the description, but perhaps the larger ones in the background do.

C. 1910: I hadn't realised the defilement of our built heritage with pebbledash had set in that long ago.

Signs on doorway to left of car read BSA Bicycles.
According to Wikipedia, BSA made bicycles from 1880 to 1887, and then again from 1908 onwards. So given the car there, this would be after 1908.

"looking like paddy's market" was a phrase my mum used to describe any thing that was untidy (like my bedroom) :-) I spotted the Antrim Glen photo immediately - I have one taken from a nearby location from 2006 - little change - the hills have not moved but the farmland/field layout is different

Foxglove I hear you! Our house was broken into once and the Guards were wondering why the burglars had so thoroughly torn one of the bedrooms apart - mine! My mother was so ashamed admitting that it had looked that way before the burglary... :D (have since improved)
