Oh look? Mr. Nolan's new truck!

Where?

Description: Mr. Joseph A. Nolan, Coal Merchant purchased a bone shaker if ever there was one. Back in 1922, this must have been the wonder of the age, and was probably badly needed in Waterford with its many hills. In my neck of the woods, the horse and cart lasted until well into the 1960s. This looks a solid piece of work, and what can we find out about it? Photographer: A. H.

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”.
