This week another photograph sent to me
recently by retired Garda John Murphy, formerly of St. Michael’s Terrace. It shows the cast of another show put on in
the early 1960s as part of the Factories/Shopkeepers Reviews. As in last week’s photographs I can recognise
some of the performers but cannot be certain as to the group they
represented. Again, an appeal to the
readers to help identify those photographed and the show in which they
performed.
The second photograph came to me many
months ago from Ann Smith who couldn’t be sure if it was of relevance to
Athy. For myself I believe it is a
photograph of Walsh’s shop which was located in Leinster Street at the corner
of Chapel Lane. Daney Walsh, father of
Tommy Walsh, both of whom acted with the Social Club Players in the 1940s and
1950s, was a member of the Walsh family who operated the shop.
Can anyone confirm if I am right and
identify the man and indeed the two girls standing outside the shop?
