“The father in this photo is Liam Woods; he lived in Blackrock and later moved to Deansgrange. The elder boy is Francis Woods, who lives in the family home in Deansgrange; the younger boy is my father, Felim Woods. Felim qualified as a vet from UCD and made the rather unfashionable move to Northern Ireland in the late 1970s. He still lives in Fermanagh. I love this photo because Dad looks so like my son now. My father loves this photo as there are so many images of old Dublin in the background – the column, the bus, etc.”

(1955)
