Cork docks 1969, one of my first photos.
Diana plastic camera & 120 roll film. The camera cost 10 Schillings, bought in Lehanes grocer shop (now Centra) Rossa Avenue, Bishopstown.

Purchased the film from the chemist shop (now Spice Town?) in Uam Var Ave and the kind man, in a white coat, showed me how to put the film in.

Cork's first quartz clock in the late 1960s which was on display at 42 Grand Parade, then 38 Oliver Plunkett street.

Still accurate to +/- 1 second per month, over 50 years since it left the Junghans factory in Germany.

Only 5000 were made, this one's serial number is around mid way in the series. Designed to run on a 1.5 volt D cell zinc–carbon battery giving a years operation.

Cork City '80s tidal flooding Oliver Plunket St. Cyclist & 'The Brass Boot'

The OPW plan to top the historic Georgian quay walls with concrete to prevent tidal flooding. Geologists & Engineers I've listened to think it won't work in the city's marshy foundation. Alternative: tidal barrier

My 1970 Xmas pressies with Paterson b/w negative film processing which I used later for processing many cork slide film photos.

Also Lego with electric motor, 'Monkey Race' & a model boat kit. I did well!
