    Betting on 1898 for the date! I prefer the photo with Mr Merry and his barrow. Or is it one of his lads? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000589979

    beachcomber australia I thought it was a bit blurry, so went for this one and its Seville oranges.

    All four Merry's house photos were taken at different times - see the displays in the doorway. And the blinds and curtains ...

Prior to fire hydrants firemen would dig down to the water main and bore a hole in it – the hole would fill with water that they could use for firefighting. Once the fire was extinguished they would hammer a bung or ‘plug’ into the pipe and backfill the hole, leaving an FP mark on the building for future reference. The term stuck when hydrants were introduced and their locations were marked with FP signs. ". in this case 32ft off wall.

    This photograph appeared on page 3 of the Irish Independent on Thursday, 11 December 1924. Here's the line up:
    Group taken after the arrival of the members of the Boundary Commission, with Secretaries, at Armagh. - Left to right - Mr. F. B. Bourdillon, C.B.E., M.A. (Secretary to Commission); Mr. J. R. Fisher (Northern Ireland), Mr. Justice Feetham (Chairman), Dr. Eoin MacNeill (Free State representative), and Mr. C. Beerstacher (private secretary to Mr. Justice Feetham). - Photo, Hogan.

    As with Cork photos, I can't let a Hogan image go past without a comment :) While the members of the commission likely had some positivity when this image was captured, within 12 months the commission would effectively collapse and become almost entirely redundant. As per the Wikipedia article which CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY links, things didn't start well - Stormont refused to send a rep outright - which is why Fisher was appointed by Whitehall. With a year, a draft of the commission's report would be leaked. This contained some unexpected recommendations. Leading to the resignation of some members. While the commission continued, the various governments came to their own agreement on the border - ignoring the commission's report. Which wasn't then made public for another 45 years. As such, the main "future strife" that was caused was less about what the commission did itself - rather what they (in effect) didn't manage to do....

    I know very little about all this, but this Trove article, published less than a month after the photo, highlights a ridiculous 'sixpence a parcel' tax on shopping taken across the border. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/123844920 Virtual prize to the first to work out the doorway in Armagh ... ... !

    Carol Maddock This is same house on the Mall, Armagh. Note vent bottom left paving joints and boot scraper. It's a wonder it's not marked considering all the 'trouble'. www.google.ie/maps/@54.3488998,-6.6491373,3a,40.2y,34.66h... The other Hogan, while having the same date, was taken somewhere else? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000218271
