Some interesting early photos, including a good few from Waterford, with a couple from Tramore and Bunmahon.

The photo at around 16minutes of Knockmahon is apparently (I have just been told) a promotional pic used in an effort to re-open the mine in 1905/6. The whole thing fell through as there was not enough copper. Whether it was optimism or scam is unclear, though it does seem that much of the money raised was spent on promoting the idea.
