Rebel 831 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Great pics and thread. this is a photo of my Granduncle, in O'Connell Street Dublin, must have been around the 1920's shortly after we got our independence. Nelson's Pillar behind, which is no longer there after being blown up in the 1960's 11 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rebel 831 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Milking in the 1970's all done by hand, no fancy milk parlours. You couldn't beat that milk, you'd drink it all day 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,536 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) The little girl in the photo of the house is my great grand mother seen here with my father. Her accent was so broad my mother could not understand a single word she said apparently. Cheers Arry Edited June 2, 2018 by Arry 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,536 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 My granddad on my fathers side. he liked growing sweet peas. He enter a show once and the stuffy judges would not believe he grew them, so he made them take the judges and himself up to garden in their car. Cheers Arry 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
