May 26, 1932

    If I had to guess, this might have been taken at one of the Colleges run by the 'Mill Hill Missionaries' who have St Joseph as their patron - either St Joseph's College, Freshford, Co. Kilkenny (Uppercourt Manor) or St Joseph's College, Dartry House, Rathgar. A look at the 1932 'Catholic Directory' should confirm whether Fr McCarthy was superior at one or other of those colleges at the time.

    Hi Bernard Healy, most probably Kilkenny, Mr Poole rarely travelled to Dublin from his base in Waterford. As you can see we have it mapped as Cashel, Co Tipperary...
  • Bernard Healy said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I think I have it! Freshford wasn't opened until September 1932. These must be students of St Joseph's Missionary House, Rockwell, Cashel - better known as Rockwell College. The president of the College was the Holy Ghost priest Fr John J McCarthy. Here is his obituary. He died in 1947. He is just about recognizable in this newspaper photo, just to the left of the hat-stand.

    Amazing - thanks Bernard Healy. Have added a short note to the description! Excellent work.

    Is "Old Time" like God's time we heard about a while back, meaning none of that Government Daylight Savings nonsense?

    Is there some relationship to this Hickey?
  • Vab2009 said:
    It is rather timeless - we had a store in Belfast that I was taken into often in the early sixties and even the clothing on display looked like this! It had money tubes.

    Vab2009 There's an old time department store in central Reading that hasn't changed much from those days. Still has the pneumatic money tube system working. www.jacksonsofreading.co.uk/about.htm www.dooyoo.co.uk/department-stores/jacksons/179983/

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Pneumatic Tube Transport Systems are still manufactured by Quirepace Lamson, formerly Lamson Paragon. I remember the wooden ball Cash Carrier system in Co-op shops in the 1950s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_Carrier

    Lovely crisp photo. Wrong side of the border for me so all I can do is appreciate the photo.
