    Finbar Furey the singer went to school there and has a funny story about the place. The family are settled members of the traveller community and lived in south Dublin. While the lads were at school some friend from the music industry visited his father in a beautiful Rolls Royce car and explained that he was setting off to tour Ireland a visit other traditional musicians in their homes. That would involve going up some narrow roads with the grass down the middle and would pose a threat to the paintwork of the Rolls. Mr. Furey proposed loaning them his battered BMW for the trip and the guest left his Rolls for the duration. As it was end of term Mr. Furey went to collect his offspring at Newtown School in a gleaming Rolls Royce. The sight of this well known settled traveller rolling up to collect his family in this symbol of wealth and luxury was a sensation.

A Shell company?

    Doyle & Dillon is clock heaven. But which is the right time?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think the buildings have survived. The new bank is to the right on the corner, and Kelly's have expanded.

    beachcomber australia Yes, both buildings survived, even the fancy windows of the clock shop.
    Furlongs on the left wasn’t so lucky.
    I’ve heard of the Happy Ring House in Dublin, this one is the Lucky Ring House.

    Doyle & Dillon's prices on Tuesday 19 November 1907 as advertised in the Evening News (Waterford) Evening News (Waterford) - Tuesday 19 November 1907 I wonder why it says no. 79?
    Their advert in the Waterford Star - Saturday 16 November 1907 says 76, as does the one in the Waterford Standard.
    Monday's Evening News says 79, but by the 21st it says 76.

    I wonder if the Evening Post typesetter was told to buck his ideas up or else.

    I assume the figure in the doorway is either Doyle or Dillon, wondering why all their potential customers are passing their shop and looking for watches 3 doors down.
