Mageney Railway Station, County Kildare

A view of four individuals working on the train line at Mageney Railway Station, County Kildare, in about 1910. Opened in 1846, the station formed part of the Great Southern and Western Railway line from Cherryville Junction to Kilkenny.

School Children

A large group of school girls outside presumably a school building probably in County Cork in about 1910.

Strawberry Beds, Dublin

A view of the Strawberry Beds in Dublin in about 1910. Running alongside the northern banks of the River Liffey between the villages of Chapelizod and Lucan, the Strawberry Beds were so-called on account of the fruits which were cultivated and sold there in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It was also traditionally a popular honeymoon destination for Dubliners. The bridge, spanning the River Liffey, is the Farmleigh Bridge, also known as the Silver Bridge, Guinness Bridge or Strawberry Beds Bridge. It is now disused and largely derelict.

Family Group

An unidentified family group (six standing and five sitting or kneeling). This is an informal outdoor portrait of a family group probably taken in the first decade of the twentieth century.

Lay Temperance Society Members, Dublin

A large group of both men and women (both sitting and standing) outside the main door to St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin. Some of the men in the back row appear to be wearing temperance badges. They are probably part of a lay temperance association attached to the church.

Graiguenamangh, County Kilkenny

A view of Lower Main Street in Graiguenamangh, County Kilkenny, in about 1905. The image was probably taken (or acquired) by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1873-1953), a Capuchin friar who was a native of Graiguenamangh. A horse drawn carriage (called a ‘brake’) can be seen carrying passengers on the right of the road. These were extensively used in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a means of public transport and conveyance. Going in the opposite direction is what appears to be some sort of parade of horses and jockeys (in apparently elaborate silks).
