    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 city, Ardmahon estate.

    The estate was built aligned with the stone, so it didn't need to be removed.

    One of the children raised in the house went on to become an archaeologist!

  16. 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 German Junghans factory.

    A 12.8kHz quartz crystal is housed in a vacuum tube.

    Only 5000 Astrochron were made. Designed to run on a 1.5 volt D cell zinc–carbon battery giving a years operation.
