We also have a photo apparently of Mr Croker's horse, called 'Mr Boss' in our Poole Imperial photographs, but unfortunately it's not digitised yet.

This reminds me of the child catcher! great photo!

Glencairn House, County Dublin A neighbour of mine, the British Ambassador, lives in here. The Dublin Transport authorities have built a light rail line right past this gate and a station called Glencairn is to open outside it in a few months. From - www.geograph.ie/photo/1848267

FUNERAL OF MR. CROKER: - The funeral of Mr. Richard Croker took place yesterday [May 5, 1922], when the body was buried in the grounds of Glencairn House, Mr. Croker's residence in South County, Dublin. After a Requiem Mass in the private oratory, the burial service was conducted by the Right Rev. Dr. W. J. Miller, Roman Catholic Bishop of Eumenia. The body was clothed in evening dress, and before the coffin was closed Mrs. Croker desired the mourners to look at her husband's face for the last time. The coffin was covered with a pall made of natural violets and evergreen. The pall-bearers were Mr. Arthur Griffith, President of Dail Eireann, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr. A. H. Flauley, of Chicago, Mr. Oliver Gogarty, Alderman Macdonagh, and Mr. J. E. Tierney. Mr. Michael Collins, Chairman of the Provisional Government, was represented by Mr. Kevin O'Shiel From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glencairn_House

A couple of the horses at the back are a bit camera shy too. I love how photos of the public in this period attract such attention from the people.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Gorman_Coach_Builders#Glass_negat... Have a look at the O'Gorman Coach Builders page on Wikipedia - it mentions flickr and the NLI In April 1922 and April 1934, high quality 'Glass negative' photographs, were taken by A H Poole & Co. In 2012, some were placed on the internet by the National Library of Ireland (NLI).[5] They are of vehicles being built at Prior Park garage and the shop front in Parnell Street. They include a picture of J.F.O'Gorman, the directors, workers, the factory premises, Prior Park house and various machinery in the workshop. These photographs are also on Flickr and have created a renewed interest in the business operation.[6][7][8]

Conor1970 I've noticed a weird phenomenon that early tram and omnibus passengers seemed camera shy also. It turns up in a lot of our photos, though of course not all of them come to mind now that I need to remember them to show you, but along the lines of this one!

DannyM8 All publicity is good publicity! Would imagine that was Desktop 123 who did a lot of work and contributed a ton of information on the O'Gorman family and their operation? I'd be delighted that any photos we post here create "renewed interest" in all sorts of places, people, dogs...

Strange grouping. It looks like the soldiers are protecting the harvesting. The man with the dog looks like the landowner (plus fours etc). Were they threatened?

Could the date be wrong?

As you seem to imply, it's hard to say when the civil war was "over" . Really great photo. Thanks.

Moira Well, that's the question, isn't it? Big house, politicial allegiances, local issues?
