Summary edit

Description

Yesterday's unusual capture of an urban eviction scene from the 1880s got me thinking about other later eviction scenes we might have from towns and cities around Ireland, so here's one from O'Connell Street in Waterford (plus we haven't had a photo from the Poole Collection in a while).

What's interesting is how much fun some of the onlookers seem to be having, presumably because of the excitement, police presence, and a photographer on the scene. But there's also a sad woman holding her dog and looking out on the family possessions piled up in the street below.
