The Poole collection is generally based on studio work but now and again it turns up with a conundrum! This shot of a warehouse with open doors and barrels abounding poses the questions:
* Where is it?,
* Who owned it? and
* Is it still there?
Photographer: A. H. Poole
Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford
Date: Catalogue range c.1901-1954
NLI Ref: POOLEWP 0116
You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie

This is the one it reminded me of: www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/8032153949/in/photolist-d... Doesn't seem to be the same place edit: Having said that, it could easily be O'Connell street.

Thanks all. I totally concur on this likely being a commission for the Fanning family business in Waterford. Can we confirm a location though? Are there available street directories for Waterford? (Similar to those used for Cork and Dublin in the past...?)
