An Art Deco building, it was designed by Crick and Furse, the firm responsible for designing many of the Art Deco theatres around Sydney. As The Victory, the cinema screened mostly action movies. This changed when renamed The Rapallo, though neither this nor objections from The National Trust prevented the demolition of the theatre in 1984.

Description: The Clonbrocks were out foreign again and took this interesting image while there. At first sight I thought the train was a case of a "Pushme Pullyou" as described in Dr. Doolittle but I was mistaken.

The Smyths?

Where?

Description: Our catalogue tells us that this lovely family group was commissioned by Mrs. Smyth, 44 Poleberry, Waterford, which should help you with your deliberations. I always look forward to reading the comments on a photo like this one. It is fantastic that you can discover so much information about the people in the photos we feature here on Flickr, it really does bring them alive. +++ UPDATE +++ Well, this family photograph led to a lively chase up and down Poleberry in Waterford, trying to match likely families, and likely dogs in online dog license records. But the main problem is the “unusual” house numbering of Poleberry. Our Bernard Healy is not usually given to cast asparagus at anyone, but even he was driven to this extreme: “I think we have to conclude that the census enumerator was drunk, or the houses were re-numbered at some stage”.

The Dreaded Weed

Where?

Description: As a thank you to all our supporters, followers, and Flickroonies for the 90 million views, and this week’s tremendous work we have The State Express Tobacco Factory from the Morgan Aerial Photographic Collection. There were a number of tobacco factories in Ireland at that time but I must admit that this is the first time I heard of the State Express factory. I suspect that this is one that we can safely say is “no longer standing”?

All fall down...

Where?

Description: There is something winterish and depressing about todays image from Arthur Henri. Dull and misty atmosphere and a crop that looks as though it has been burned by the frost and is now wilted would not cheer one up? Dangan, Thomastown is the place and we even have a date but what else is there to find out about this? Photographer: A. H.

Rainy days and Sundays always get me down

Where?

Description: On a wet and pretty miserable day in Dublin, and most of the North and East of the country, O'Dea takes us down South to a rainy day long ago. A man in a Mac (that was a Mackintosh raincoat long before Apple) passes a lady in a very old-fashioned cloak on a street in Bandon, County Cork. Photographer: James P.

They're Peelers not Sojers

Where?

Description: Mr. John A. Costello looks decidedly discombobulated as he is escorted by Church and State to some event in Donegal. The title suggests that he has a guard of honour of soldiers, but those are actually some of An Garda Síochána's finest. Their uniform, with the closed collars, should be some guide to the latest date this could have been taken? Where, why and what?

The end of the line...

Where?

Description: Cavan might be the last place you would want to end up for Christmas, but that is only if you didn't know the many attractions of the town! A lovely shot from Mr. O'Dea of the railway station in Cavan with a full stop, which is what we will be doing until after the Christmas. On behalf of all at the NLI and from the Marys, we would like to wish all our many followers and contributors a very happy and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. For those who do not celebrate Christmas we wish you the compliments of the season. Just to remind us that the season is made of children's memories here are the final lines from a poem by Patrick Kavanagh: I was six Christmases of age My father played the melodeon, My mother milked the cows, And I had a prayer like a white rose pinned, On the Virgin Mary's blouse.

And the plot thickens...

Where?

Description: Mr. Seumas O’Neill of Cashel, German Plot prisoner of Durham Gaol. A fine, handsome young man in semi-military garb with a Nationalist badge on his lapel, locked up in a British gaol. Who was Seumas, and what was the German Plot? What happened to him thereafter? Yesterday’s virtual trip through Germany, Switzerland, and Austria was most entertaining, and a welcome relief from the trials and tribulations of the pandemic, whose name must not be mentioned!
