Streetview of Main Street, with the Garda Station on the left.

FI 9658: a Tipperary North reg from near the end of the series: FI 1 to FI 9999 (Dec 1903 - Jan 1958).

Niall McAuley So it is Main Street, thanks a million!

The street lighting looks pretty feeble, one lamp strung on a wire across the road. This was before the yellow Sodium lights, too, so there would have been one puddle of white light and a lot of shadow.

I owned a 1960 Ford Thames 100E van in the sixties. We use to put an old bus seat in the back for the passengers and had the two small rear windows enlarged. (you could buy a kit to do the job) In 1964 I drove the van from London to Donegal via Fishguard/Rosslare. 10 hours from London to Fishguard. Lifted on and off the ship in a net. Another 10 hours drive from Rosslare to Donegal. Not bad for a small van with three forward gears and a top speed of around 60mph.. flic.kr/p/6Ntg5H

Nobel? Dy-no-mite! (It's from a 1970s TV show...) :)

Is that like a city hall, or a hotel where people pay to stay the night? I think it's a city hall, where the mayor works.

oaktree_brian_1976 It is actually a hotel, not a city hall even if it might look like that. Today it is called Hotell Alfred Nobel. /Anna B.

Das sind natürliche Bilder einfach schön.

The car on the right!

quite a car collection, Ford Anglia ..... a mistake since pencil touched design board.

15 March 1964 was a Sunday . . . I wonder where else Mr O'Dea went that day.

Beware the Ides of March.
