Ticky tacky houses on a 'green field' site?

    Off the top of my head, it looks like Crumlin, but it could be anywhere. Waterford seems more likely given its provenance. Let's see what Google Maps says... edit: Crumlin indeed! What nonsense.

    'Similar Items' on the NLI catalogue all mention "commissioned by The British Portland Cement Association, 35 Dawson Street, Dublin" which might provide a clue.

    New Ross, maybe? www.google.ie/maps/@52.3936906,-6.9385801,3a,75y,120.31h,...

    Where by maybe, I mean pretty definitely. That's them alright.

    derangedlemur Well done you! The houses look brand spanking new here; not a garden gnome or geranium pot in sight.

    These look like 17th century cannon. The pitted surface is typical of Naval canon immersed in sea water for decades. This siting is totally inappropriate, so they are just decor for impressing visitors.

    Through the gate, I see McCullough, Tea and Wine, Spirits. In the 1911 census, I see Patrick McCullough, 59, Poor Rate Collector and Publican.

    The premises at left are labelled "Motor &" and has ads for cycles. On Palace Street (running to our left), I see Philip Fulham cycle and motor agent.

    The building at the right is the derelict "Freemasons' Arms" pub, which was demolished in 1908. The ferries ran from the end of the Town Wall, well to the left of this picture. Notice the white building in Photo 693? Who writes these captions?
