    That's probably the Mayor at the time John J. Wyley who came up in previous discussions. He looks a bit more like 35 than the last candidate:

    Do you know how St Patrick managed to get so much done? He had a very large staff.

    Who would have though that in the 21st Century that Mr Field and Mr Wyle would be linked by willow woven coffins.
  • George FitzPatrick said:
    beachcomber australia Second word on wall looks like DRAPER to me. Need someone who can access the census returns or a trade directory to find a surname.
  • Paul O'Farrell said:
    The building on the corner was a pub known as Lawlor’s in the 1970’s it may have been a pub long before that also.

    Previously somewhere in Alexander Street (1924) - possibly the yard before the basket maker -

    I think we have seen that chain on Mayors of Waterford before...

    Here is a different Mayor of Waterford wearing it: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591753 And here: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000036845/Image?lookfor=http:...

    One year later, and one mayor later. The previous image (below) is Edward Walsh (Mayor 1928-29). www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/6061514031/ Which would likely make this portrait image John Wyley (Mayor 1926-27). At least according to Wikipedia and the NLI catalogue.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    It also says "Waterford" above his head... (As part of the coat of arms and motto of Waterford City: "Urbs Intacta Manet Waterfordia")
  • Niall McAuley said:
    wikipedia has a list, and suggests that in 1926 and 1927 the Mayor was John J. Wyley
