    when was this.


    Up to 63/64 at least. before they built Bellferry warf, thus distroying a beautiful amenity in the name of "Business". If you see a picture of it you'l l know what I mean.

    The photographs were really taken in April 1965 and it was my first visit to Waterford. We also went to Passage East but I had confused this with Passage West near Cobh which I visited on another occasion. We stayed in a lovely hotel close to the CIÉ office - I think it was called The Bell, and had a large bell hanging over the door. I remember being rather late in and fearful that I might not be able to get a drink. I enquired anxiously about when the hotel closed and was reassured by the reply "October, sir." We were even supplied with hot water bottles in our beds - lovely big earthenware jars with corks in them. Happy memories of a very pleasant and enjoyable visit forty-six years ago.

    Bell's:

    A view of the large bell in this pic ..... and lots of other interesting old pics too .....

    I had thought Bell's was a chemist, but apparently I was wrong ....... here are some details and a link for the commercial premises on the quay from years back .......
    56, 57. G. Walpole, grocer
    58, 59. P. Tobin & Sons, clothiers
    60. Bank of Ireland, T. Atkins, manager
    61. Geo. Chapman & Co., grocers
    62. Henry Bell, oil and colour merchant
    63, 64. James Herne and Co., drapers
    65. Commin's Commercial hotel

    I clearly remember Chapman's (their tea was famous), and Hearne's but have no real recollection of entering Bell's.
