    The sacks were rented? Didn’t realize this was done. Great photo!

    plaisanter~ I didn't either, but they definitely all say "Hired Sacks"!
  • Swordscookie said:
    The chances are that the horses and carts were hired on a daily basis also. Each horse owner would have a cart or two and would be hired each day when a load needed to be shifted. Not too many of the companies held a "fleet" of horses and carts as it was much less trouble and cheaper to hire in. I remember goind down the docks in Limerick in the early 50's and seeing lines of them waiting their turrn to pick up loads from ships at the quays.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Ah, well I was just being lighthearted about the "fleet" but that is valuable information about the hiring, thanks!

    My grand aunt worked mending the hired sacks for Dennys.. The women used to sit around on the floor or on a pile of sacks and repair the sacks. They used an x pattern stitch within a square pattern of stitches. And a huge needle. Dennys had a premises in O'Connell Street in Waterford

    A picture of Thurles, Co.Tipperary. www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=Thurles%2C+Ireland&dat...

    Bernard Healy Again, spot on. There are other photos in the set from Thurles area. If you're a Tipperary man, do you recognise the ruined "grand house". (Clark family were burned out during war of independence or civil war according to the notes).
  • Bernard Healy said:
    I'm not a Tipperary man, but I do have cousins in Thurles. I managed to pin this photo down to Thurles by searching the 1901 Irish Census for drapers called 'Molony' (spelled without an 'e') and when I saw that one of them was in Thurles, it all clicked.

    Good Question. I'd just like to thank James P. O'Dea and the O'Dea Collection for sharing.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    only1tanuki Yes, we owe a huge debt to Mr O'Dea for capturing decades of railway life in Ireland!
  • Mike said:
    Bill Brandt would have been proud of an image like this! Wonderful framing of the staircase, and Depth of Field!!

    Looking North, towards the station and platforms, judging by the OS 25" map.
