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.

Tramore beach in the Republic of Ireland on a spring day

Tramore beach in the Republic of Ireland on a spring day

August 17, 1927

Appearances can be deceptive. This is a photo of the O'Connor family, Tramore, Co. Waterford. At first glance, the paterfamilias Peter O'Connor looks like a mild-mannered solicitor. Solicitor he was, but mild-mannered, no.

On 15 August 1901, he jumped 24ft 11¾ins (7.61m), a World record in long jump that lasted 20 years. His Irish record in long jump lasted 89 years. Peter O'Connor won a silver medal at the Athens Olympics in 1906, but did not like being regarded as a British athlete. He climbed a flagpole and raised an Erin go Bragh flag.

In sporting retirement, he became Vice-President of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland.

Thanks to ofarrl for doing great research on the names of O'Connor family using Mark Quinn's book on Peter O'Connor, The King of Spring and adding notes on all the family members in this photo.
