walshie 2,804 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Marshman's excellent old photos got me going through some of the old stuff I have here. Not hunting related, but photos are like looking back in time. Can't get enough of them. Going back in time: My grandfather. I'd guess sometime before WW2. Best man I ever knew. My grandmother. I'd guess 1910-1920. No idea who this is. It's a relative, but the photo is proper old. Thick card rather than paper. Pre 1900 definitely. (If they had cameras then) Thanks marshman for giving me the idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rebel 831 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Some great pics lads. I like the old pics as well. Below are some old family photos that I came across recently. A granduncle of mine on the left. They are walking down O'Connell Street, Dublin. That's the GPO in the background and Nelsons pillar, which is no longer there as it was blown up. Must have been in the early years of the formation of the Irish Free State? Family and neighbours threshing. My father and Grandfather. 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
