There is a wonderful mix of the modern and the traditional in this photograph which was taken at the corner of Eyre Square and Rosemary Avenue in the mid 1930s. The woman in the foreground is wearing a plain black shawl, a petticoat and a ‘práiscín’ which was a heavy canvas apron worn to protect the skirt. Two others are wearing beautifully patterned shawls which must have looked very elegant and colourful. They had probably come into town to sell their wares, and then went shopping with the proceeds, and their baskets are now full. The other women in the picture are all dressed in more ‘up to date’ coats and berets. It looks as if all of these people are waiting for a bus.

The Imperial Hotel, Eyre Square, was a flurry of activity last Friday for the spring auction held by Property Partners Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard. The first floor lounge, overlooking a sun kissed Eyre Square, was alive with the vigour of the spring season and in keeping with the glorious sunshine, the auction team were full of enthusiasm for the day’s auctions. Learning from the experiences of the last auction held by Property Partners Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard in November, bidders arrived early and the room filled up briskly so that by 3pm when auctioneer James Heaslip MIPAV took to the floor only standing room remained.
