At Waterford Courthouse? 40 years earlier - Is that worth a virtual sticky hot cross bun?

15 June 1941 was a Sunday ... double pay on a Sunday!

The President of the Union was Mr Thomas Kennedy (who made "a very long opening speech"). (Waterford Standard - Saturday 21 June 1941) I'm guessing the president would have a seat, and be in the middle of his row (with his hat on his knees).

The wallpaper could have been changed for such an occassion, nearly as dreary as the moustaches!!!!!

It looks like a scene from a musical, excellent.

Christine Curtin And have you spotted the rather random cello/double bass perched up in the left hand corner?

The man with the white beard could possibly be E.P. O'Kelly as he looks very similar to the photo in Paul Gorry's 'Baltinglass Chronicles'. He was the Wicklow MP in Redmond's Home Rule party. Does anyone know who's who in this photo

At that time, cycling was the preserve of the gentry and well-off. Bicycles were very expensive before mass production and besides, it would have been consider socially pretentious for anyone lower than middle-class to be seen cycling.

And look how they were dressed for their bicycle tour. Especially the ladies in their long dresses.

Gerhard ....and that's why ladie's bicycles traditionally have no crossbar. In those days, cycling was the preserve of the wealthy and so when out on a leisurely cycle one had to look one's best....not let the side down.
