His work covers Convair’s premier programs such as the Seadart, the R3Y Tradewind, the Atlas ballistic missile, the POGO and the Tomahawk cruise missile. In addition to routine filming projects, Irwin conducted a variety of unusual shoots such as cold weather (snow) environments at Squaw Valley and Bemidji MN, and in 1956 embarked on a 2 year assignment at Cape Canaveral, FL at the very beginning of the Atlas program.

This is James P. O’Dea (left) and Fred raising a glass at a pub in Moyvalley, Co. Kildare. By the looks of the CIÉ logo on Fred’s jacket, he was one of the many railway workers all over Ireland, who would have known James very well.

James O’Dea was the photographer responsible for many of the train and railway photos you’ll see here on our photostream. He was a founding member of the Irish Railway Records Society in 1946. James was also nephew of the famous Dublin comedian and entertainer, Jimmy O’Dea.

A row of buildings on Meagher’s Quay in Waterford, pictured 10 days after a fire caused the devastation evident in this photo (the other side of Hearne’s which stretched through to George’s Street. We can see here that the building has been completely gutted, but as Subpopulus Hibernia points out:
"It’s also pretty impressive that the facade remains intact. I wonder if it was supported by a steel girder… I’m not sure how often such building techniques would have been employed in provinical Irish cities at the turn of the century."

Soldiers waiting for a train at Newbridge Railway Station in Co. Kildare. They may have been members of the Cavalry Regiment stationed at nearby Newbridge (aka Kilbride?) Barracks…

Thanks to Kevin j Monahan for all of this information on Newbridge Barracks and its contemporary traces:
"Newbridge barracks was on the main street, after Independence the new Irish Free State army chose not to retain it as there were barracks in Kildare town and Naas plus the Curragh. As it was government land it had the library, a school, the post office, Bord na Mona’s headquarters and a garda station, Saint Conleths Park – the GAA county grounds are also there. Newbridge was known from having a one sided main street as there were only shops on one side. The barracks are almost gone now, but there are still some relics, Newbridge town hall on the main street was the old garrison church, the barracks water tower is on the end of Cutlery road (I used to climb it when I was a kid). One of the barrack gates is still there across from Ryston and I believe there is a building in Bord na Mona that was part of the barracks."

Shortis’s Shop and Bar


Bild von National Library of Ireland on The Commons
Looks as if you could buy almost anything from this shop and bar in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry at the corner of Main Street and Cliff Road. It’s a pub now.

Our thanks to 3.1415926535 for this and this contemporary view of Shortis’s pub as it is now.

Thanks to DannyM8 for doing some digging on the Shortis family in the 1901 and 1911 census.

This was the Shortis family in 1901, with father and mother William and Annie, both aged 32 and described as General Merchant and Publican and Wife of a Merchant respectively.

Matters took a sad turn for the Shortis family in 1905 however. DannyM8 reports:
"Annie Died in Childbirth 1905

William Shortis, Born: 1869, From Carrick on Suir, Co Tipperary, Married to Annie Browne Died: 1905, ‘Died of ‘Broken heart’, leaving 5 children with no parents. Occupation: Manager of Lartigue railway. Exported Cashen salmon to Harrods in London, England. Reference: He built Shortis’s bar and lodge in Ballybunnion, Co Kerry."
The Census of 1911 sees William and Annie Shortis replaced by Norah and Mary Brown, sisters and Aunts to the Shortis children.

DannyM8 also found out that Patrick Shortis, aged 8 in 1901, was at All Hallows, Drumcondra, Dublin in 1911 aged 18, and described as a Student of Theology Undergraduate (aka a priest in training?), and provides a follow-up to Patrick Shortis’s story:
"Patrick Shortis and Daniel Scanlon both lost their lives in the fight for independence and were honoured by the North Kerry branch of Republican Sinn Fein.
Patrick Shortis fought at the GPO in 1916 and was killed with the O’Rahilly on an assault on the Rotunda while Daniel Scanlon lost his life in Ballybunion in 1917 while on active duty against occupied forces."

Really delighted that slimdandy was inspired to apply his artistic skills to this photo. He said:
"This is what Heaven is to me. A dry goods store (because I can’t take anything with me when I go), with a Bar in the back and a nice room upstairs. All needs met."

Ring of Kerry


Bild von National Library of Ireland on The Commons
Big challenge for you today! Though of course, every time I say that, someone solves the puzzle in 5 minutes. Anyway, we’d love to identify this exact spot…

photogaff is first off the mark, suggesting: "That looks like a hundred metres or so on the Sneem side of the first lake heading towards Killarney at the brow of the Killarney lakes area" and franmol thinks this is right too.

Meanwhile, DannyM8 and Niall McAuley think the woman leaning out the window is writer and naturalist Rosemary Elizabeth Tilbrook (aged about 32), wife of the photographer Richard Tilbrook. Niall also found what may be a photo of Rosemary Tilbrook taken in 1998 (white haired and smiling, a year before she died), and this lovely story about her:
"The toads in Ashwellthorpe live in Ashwellthorpe Wood on the north side of Aswellthorpe Street, but their breeding pond lies to the south of the road – toads can live for up to forty years and always return to their same breeding pond, year after year. Some of you will remember that Rosemary Tilbrook who lived in Red Squirrels used to ferry toads/frogs/newts across the road for many years up until her death in 1999. There are now some 15 volunteers including youngsters with their parents in Ashwellthorpe who will come out in all weathers to help this migration."

And the car has also been identified as a Ford Consul Mk II, registered in East Suffolk, England in 1958.

Date: Circa 1960

Favorittbilde #2. Ukas bilde / Photo of the week 35/2011


Bild von Riksarkivet (National Archives of Norway)
Ukas foto (uke 35/2011) Utvalgt av Vilhelm Lange, underdirektør i seksjon for privatarkiver:

:
Mitt favorittbilde viser et skip under seil i sol og god vind. Helt forut står en sjømann og ser mot fotografen – som har klatret langt ut på baugsprydet. Der har han klort seg fast med sitt kamera med sjøen skummende under seg. Til tross for et usikkert fotfeste er bildet blitt lynskarpt med mange detaljer. Vi ser sjømannens blikk, klær som henger til tørk i vinden og vi kan studere detaljer på dekk og i rigg. Selv om vi bare ser et lite utsnitt av skipet, gir bildet et inntrykk av bevegelse og frisk luft.

Bildet finnes i PA-1364 Egil Kollenborg. Dette arkivet inneholder flere fotoalbum med bilder fra 1860-årene til ca 1950. Her er også mange løse fotografier, bl.a. noen andre fotografier av seilskip. Vi vet ikke hvem som har tatt dette bildet, men vi kan gjette på at det kan ha vært Kristen Cecilius Krøger Johansen (1866-1923), som var i familie med Kollenborg. Han var journalist og skipper, og vi vet at han også fotograferte.
