Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Good dating (and social history) in the posters outside this R.I.C. Barracks at Brookeborough in Co. Fermanagh.

A Department of Agriculture poster warns about Potato Blight and that "potatoes should be dug without delay". Can't read the last 3 lines (it's like an eye test), but it starts: "Every Day the Crop now remains in the ground ??? ? the tubers turning "black"...

A little poster seems to be offering a £1 Reward for a Bull Calf (and while we're talking about animals, there's a spaniel? relaxing on the windowsill).

A poster between two of the constables is advertising militia training. Think the poster on the right is also for militia training and it looks as if Royal Innis... is the start of Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers? May be able to date this poster by S.G. Roe who signed the proclamation. Also God Save The King plus E.R. at the top means Edward VII was in power, so this one is definitely 1901-1910.

Date: 1901-1910
