RECOGNISE ANYONE IN the photos above?

The RIA Library in Dublin stumbled across them in a book today, and are hoping that someone related to the people featured will recognise them.

The pics were found in the Road Book of Ireland from the Automobile Association. There’s no date on the book, but an inscription on the inside cover of the book says ‘Christmas 1956′.

The inscription also indicates that it was a Christmas present for someone’s mother, but there is no surname. The book was bought by the RIA in the 1980s.
