Fancy a Cuppa?

Bustling market scene at Ballybricken Green in waterford. Would imagine this refreshment van did a brisk trade in tea and coffee that day. And what a beautiful milk jug!
That's M.J. (Michael J.) Phelan's Hotel in the background at no. 14. And poole photographic studio scratched out some of the sign behind the van, which reads Lipton's Tea 1s/4d (1 shilling/4 pennies).
We know that Phelan's Hotel is now Smak, East European Store thanks to Niall McAuley, and here's an approximately contemporary map from blackpoolbeach.
Thanks to swordscookie for his family tale (and for id-ing the Bull Post):
"My wifes family came from just off to the left of this shot off the Yellow Road. The cattle fair took place there right into the '60's and her younger brother loved going there when down on holidays. He invariably came home covered in cow dung as he was very small and got slapped by many a cows tail as he wandered about."
One of our NLI Facebook people, niall ahearne, told us that:
"The tall building to the right hand side of the photo used to be Mackeys Public house. It was known locally (to those ‘in the know') as "Lourdes" because if a man wanted an early morning ‘cure' badly enough he'd always get a drink in there very early in the morning by giving a discreet (I suppose) knock on the side door!" Niall also said: "do ye see the tall chimney above the "r" in the Waterford sign? I would venture to suggest that that was from the old Strangman's Brewery in Mary Street, later to become Cherry's Brewery and now part of Diageo! I used to live in Mary Street from early 50s to mid 60s!"
ofarrl contributed this 1926 Pathé Newsreel footage of a wonderfully behatted crowd being addressed by Captain W.A. Redmond (son of John Redmond?) at Ballybricken Green.

Question by emily: Suggestions for malamute strong dog doors?
we have to leave for weekend trips and lock our two dogs outside because the malamute/border collie chews up things if left inside. most of the time we come home to them inside with the dog door destroyed. it is not an option to get rid of the dog door. we have even put 100+ pound objects infront of the door. does anyone know a VERY STRONG DOG DOOR?
Best answer:
Answer by Bambi
Don't they have dog doors with deadbolts on them? Besides, I think it's not such a good idea to leave them alone outside all weekend. They're bound to get in trouble, destroy stuff, get stolen, get out of the yard, get hurt, etc. Why don't you have a friend watch them or take them to a doggie daycare/kennel?
What do you think? Answer below!

Sounds like you need a sitter…
All that tea & coffee and yet not a cup in sight.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/swordscookie] Lovely family story, and thanks a million for the Bull Post identification!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley] Not splitting hairs, but if you look at the plinth he’s sitting on, it looks roundy. So I think it might be the roundy shape slap bang in the middle of Ballybricken Green on your OSI 25" map, which thanks to swordscookie we now know is the Bull Post.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia] What a good memory you have! I must set an exam one of these days… 🙂
I think Mr. Phelan was Michael J, not W. J.
With all the children around the van, I wonder if he sold sweets or something, too?
They look a little young for a double-shot skinny frappucino!
Great!
Sean,don’t be milking it!

Is there some image editing going on around the W in Waterford, it looks like the shafts of the carriage originally obscured the W and that the top of both shafts were removed and the W retouched in white.
Have I seen that cow in another photo?
A wonderful image.
My wifes family came from just off to the left of this shot off the Yellow Road. The cattle fair took place there right into the ’60’s and her younger brother loved going there when down on holidays. He invariably came home covered in cow dung as he was very small and got slapped by many a cows tail as he wandered about. This is a great shot, full of life and action, what a great way to start the weekend! The men sitting behind the stand are on the steps of the Bullpost which is still there in Ballybricken. You can just see the top of the post above the van.
You can see a man sitting on the second step of a plinth at left, beside the Lipton’s board. Probably the square yoke at the centre of this OS 25" map view.
I think it is 1 shilling and 4 pence, same price as Home & Colonial ‘Best’ Tea on 10 May 1910, the following Tuesday –

That does not look like a good place to be in bare feet!
Lipton’s Tea 1s/4d.
That’s a very tall gas lamp or it’s on a raised plinth.
