“Photo taken of Eileen Kirwan, (my mother), and me (Daphne), in O’Connell Street, after leaving Clery’s store in 1951.
My mother called her coat ‘the new look’ She made it herself, and mine as well. I love this photo because it is one of two surviving photo of me as a child. She always wore a hat and coat and carried a basket.
I remember Arthur, in later years, especially the hat.
