Footage from Pathe News which they have listed on their site as 1920, but is more than likely from the 1913 lockout.
Firstly, Liberty Hall is intact, which means it’s pre-1916; secondly, Jim Larkin is in the footage, which means its pre-1914, as Larkin left for America that year.
Also, the clothes Larkin is wearing are the same as in this photo from 1913.
British Pathe is a brilliant website, though a great deal of the Irish stuff is mistagged. Do drop them a line, as they seem to love getting corrections.
I was thinking of that alright, ‘cos it’s quite a gem to have. Haven’t seen much footage of the lockout and they’re sitting on a good bit of it.
