Summary

[edit]
Description

A motor engine shop in a Prep school? That seems (A) a little bit extravagant and (B) aimed at a different class of student at a time when class seemed to be everything? This image from the Mason collection intrigues me, and I look forward to finding out a lot more about it...

With thanks today to [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet] it seems likely that this image captures a motor engineering workshop at "Pembroke Day Trades Preparatory School" in Ringsend, Dublin (now site of Ringsend Technical College). Also thanks to [/photos/bultacofan/ BultacoFan] and [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley] for identifying the car registrations (and hence the likely earliest date for the image as 1903). Niall let's us know that, of the cars/registrations pictured, by 1911: - LI-11 belonged to a Charles Farran of Rathfarnham - RI-279 to a George Newcomen of 27 Earlsfort Terrace - RI-247 to Alan McMullen of 108 James' Street, and - FI-11 to JAB Trench, of Clonfert (Co Galway).

[/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomber] suggests that Mr. Trench's motor (FI-11, middle right) could be a Rolls-Royce. But rightly points-out that, in this era of motoring, the coachwork was commonly built by separate coachbuilders. And hence it's not always straightforward to identify a model from its body-shape....
