    They are marching to the barracks....on the other side of that bridge.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Lovely!

    The building at top right of this one is the same as the building at top left of this (earlier) one nearby:
    Our first Chimney Sweep?

    Niall McAuley Spotted your note for the "works" on the bridge. Was it a swing bridge?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The narrow part of the bridge nearest the camera was a lifting section to allow sailing ships past. You can see some cogs in the mechanism at the bottom of the narrow section. This has since been replaced with a wider but uglier flat concrete span visible here:

    Things in 1922 were unchanged since the the GeoHive OS 25" (which has an incorrect survery date of 1888 attached, but is actually after 1905.) The Bank is still there, the Woollen Mills burned down in the 1940s and a Radisson Blu is there now, the Methodist Church is still there but the steeple is gone, and the Post Office is gone too, replaced by a rather ugly Bank building.

    Plus, can't believe that I missed our 2nd Anniversary on Flickr Commons! We launched on 1 June 2011. Would just like to wish us all a very happy anniversary (what's a second anniversary - is it paper?). Thank you all for making this "marriage" lively, interesting and fun. And we almost never shout at each other about map reading! :)

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Congratulations on your COTTON Anniversary - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_anniversary#Traditional_and... Good to see the tennis club in fine cotton too!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia I thank you! And in the bottom row (1st and third left) are sisters(?) in matching crocheted outfits - probably cotton also...

    I think I can see 6 Ladies with wrist watches and 1 Gentleman with a wrist watch and 1 with a pocket watch on a fob.
  • billh35 said:
    Those ladies using croquet hammers would obviously struggle to play tennis with these "bats"! Or was this "Irish Rules" tennis - if your opponent doesn't play fair bop them with a croquet hammer?

    Your record says 60 Exchange St. Cardiff not Waterford??? Anyways. Dont matter really. Would it be worth putting the photograph up on one of those Flickry location hunter groups. I havn't a clue where to start with this one. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000593386

    O Mac Could it be something to do with the Cardiff "Hall" Line? www.wrecksite.eu/img/wrecks/grindonhall1.jpg

    In the 1911 census, there are 6 E. Perkinseses. I like Earnest, who is a Marine Engineer living on a house ship in the port of Dundalk.
