    "2. Bell family - Nos 62 and 89 the Quay, 62 now part of Granville Hotel • In 1862 Henry Bell (1838-1922) opened a druggist, oil and colour merchant business. • Daughter Janie and sons William, Albert, Frederick and Samuel all joined the business as chemists. They expanded and as well as creating their own remedies they imported petrol and also opened a photography studio. • c.1905 they erected a large bell-shaped lamp outside the shop which became a local landmark ..."

    beachcomber australia Very good. In the 1980's "Bell Lines" a container shipping company operated from the Belview Port terminal near Waterford, I wonder if it was owned by the same family?

    Fantastic shopfront!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    If the original moulding and ironwork has been preserved, it should be possible to find the exact address/location of this shop using Google Maps. I've very loosely placed it along the Quays in Waterford... (that's what's known in the trade as an unsubtle hint!)

    Also, a girl's best friend! I have one holding up a fishbowl, a two-drawer version of that four-drawer one in the foreground.

    My Mum had one of these up to ten years ago, my own kids loved playing with it when they were toddlers in the 80's. These can go for a nice little sum depending on their condition. Nice shot Carol.

    My late mother had one just like the one in the foreground. It was also a very ingenious device. The machine tilted on hinges, you lifted the table it sat on out of the way, again on hinges, the machine folded down below the level of the table and the whole thing closed up so that you had a neat table/worktop with a fancy singer stand beneath. I remember rooting through drawers like those and finding bobbins and reels and being fascinated by the movement of the bobbin underneath the baseplate!

    The factory in the poster is of the Kilbowie Road, Clydebank factory, with its distinctive clock tower.

    The Russian poster "Компания Зингеръ Швейная машиъі" means 'The Singer Sewing Machine Company".
