Waterford Royal Visit, King And Queen On Grand Stand Steps - The King And Queen During A Visit To Irelands Oldest City, Waterford, Way Back When! I Suspect That This Is Connected To The Poole Photographs From Kilkenny Castle And This Was For The Press? I Was Caught By The Shape Of The Object To The Right Rear Of The Steps! At First I Thought It Was A Camera From A Very Bad POV But It Now Looks Like A Ladies Hat Thanks To The Wonderful Megazoom. And So It Was Confirmed (thanks To Niall McAuley, Sharon.corbet, And Beachcomberaustralia) That This Image Almost Certainly Dates To A Royal Visit To The South East In May 1904. However, This Likely Isn't Waterford City Proper, But An Outing To A Jumping Competition In Tramore's St Patricks Park, At The Waterford Agricultural Society Show. What We Are Likely Witnessing Here Is The Departure Of Edward And Alexandra - Having Perhaps Just Knighted The Mayor Of Waterford. At 4pm They Took The Train To Visit Lismore Castle. (A Visit We've Joined Ourselves Previously) Photographer: A. H. Poole Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford Date: Catalogue Range C.1901-1954. Surely 2 May 1904.
