In his virtual tour of Waterford Treasures on WLR’s Big Breakfast Blaa, Eamonn McEneaney tells Ollie and Mary all about a painting by Samuel Fredrick Brocas and in particular a Waterford scene he painted circa 1812.An amazing story is told within.The painting in question was generously and kindly donated to Waterford Treasures by Melanie Anderson and is a beautiful original watercolour of the Bishop’s Palace, New Rooms and the Mall Waterford. The new rooms is a reference to the Assembly Rooms, known today as City Hall. This magnificent watercolour captures the space and elegance of ‘The Mall’.
