Summary

We've met <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=47290943@N03&q=meardon">Mr Meardon</a> before at various dates in June 1906. He was owner/manager of Bunmahon/Bonmahon Copper Mines in Co. Waterford, and looks particularly impressive here with his rolled up plans and thoughtful expression - dreaming of establishing diamond mines in far-off places perhaps...

A Mr Jackson also appears in this photograph, presumably the chap in the full sou'wester gear? Anyway, I liked this one for the winch, the early 20th century workwear, and the weird object in the hand of the chap in the thigh-high rubber galoshes. Anyone any ideas as to what it is? (appears to be a compass, man to the right may be holding a square)
