Hey! I was there just last week and took a rake of shots but did not try that POV. Nice one Carol.

The cathedral is gorgeous, designed by Pugin it is beautifully decorated inside.

Swordscookie Pugin was a busy chap! And you might at least let me know your travel itinerary in advance of departure. Then I could check photos, and you could snoop around while you're gallivanting... :)

www.thememorytrail.com/content/some-things-see-mitchelsto... indicates that the statue of John Mandeville in New Square was erected in 1906. (S. also www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&...)

The statue was unveiled on 9/9/1906 (to be slightly more exact!) - more information here - jskean.incolor.com/Mandeville.htm

Is that a drone above the power pole or maybe a distant helicopter, or maybe a near dragonfly?

Ryans, Whelan and Fitzgerald are all there in the 1911 census.

13 June 1911 was a Tuesday, and the horse had no name ...

We were here previously, two weeks earlier -

The Marine Bar was a newly-built 7-day licensed premises at no. 10 Merchants' Quay. (notice of auction Waterford Standard - Saturday 10 June 1911). 'Newly-built' seems to be stretching it a bit - the lease began on 25th March 1900. "The Shop and Bar are tastefully tiled and fitted with handsome Counters, Shelves and Glass Cases, with Mirrored backs, and Decorated Ceiling."

Waterford Standard - Tuesday 25 October 1910:

FRONT WALL ALLEGED TO BE DANGEROUS

At the City Petty Sessions on Friday, the Mayor, Alderman and Burgesses, being the Corporation of Waterford, sought an order against Christopher Dunne, owner of premises in Barronstrand-street, occupied by Mrs. Dollard, requiring him to take down a front wall which is dangerous to the public.

To summarise the rest of the account, Mr Dunne's solicitor Mr Keane said that during the construction of the Provincial Bank (is that the building on the left?) , several old walls had been removed which had caused subsidence. and he had photographs showing the subsidence.

Struts had been put in place supporting the building, and hoardings keeping the public from the building at risk of collapse, but there had been complaints that the hoardings "caused much obstuction"

After much debate and evidence from the Borough Surveyor, the magistrates agreed to adjourn the case until the next sessions.

Excellent collection of posters in both plates. Mullingar Races are gone but replaced by Cunard and White Star Line posters. We have discussed both of these posters before. Nonetheless it does provide a reference date for both.
