Timothy McEniry



     



I have just come across old Polaroid shot of the Dublin Solicitor, Mister Timothy McEniry. Timothy’s offices at Camden Street Dublin were burnt down recently. We take this opportunity to wish the old legal eagle all the best for the future.

Trogermorton

A rare picture shown Trogermorton in his own inimitable self.



I am looking for more pictures, Trogermorton and his history. His name crops up on various forums and chat rooms but nobody seems to know much about him. All information appreciated.

Moore Street is famous for fruit and veg and great bargains in flowers.  Missus Albany a leading Moore Street florist relates: "Years a go Saturday morning was our busiesty for flower sales. Ya see himself would come home mouldy from a Friday nights drinking, a row would happen and sometimes more then words were exchanged. Early next morning ya could see the men buying the makey ups. Alack! It’s a different world today".
