People posing and perambulators parked in People’s Park by National Library of Ireland on The Commons Via Flickr: This beautiful Lawrence Royal plate of the Spring Rice Memorial in the People’s Park in Limerick is today’s offering. The wonderful lady hat in the foreground, is matched by those of the two ladies posing on the slope with their perambulators, while children stand and sit behind them. In former, more innocent times, children would lie down and roll down those slopes for the sensation of becoming dizzy and being “drunk”!
