GoogleMaps Satellite 3D (thirsty!) - www.google.com/maps/@53.3543913,-6.2838047,990a,35y,18... Someone will know - does the "187.28h" in the google data tell us the height in metres? If so, we could probably work out Monkey's altitude from the perspectives etc.

First thing that jumps out are the floating docks loading the barges to ferry kegs down to the docks for export, all gone now. It looks as if the little tramway to bring kegs to the landing slips were already replaced by lorries by this date.

Also of note is the number of horse an drays in one yard to right and in the other yard to upper left rows of what look like small vans. Is the graded mound with retention edges of wood baulks and barrels waste material brewers grains? see notes on photo.

I think i can make out the Guinness Tank Engine at the Dr Steevens Hospital gate. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/19130644968/ George FitzPatrick Is that not coal in your note?

Look more like an airport these days- www.dublinairport.com/images/default-source/cip-2020-imag...

Here's a Streetview from St Clare's Road at the centre - one can rotate to look down the twin roads of Pearse Road (with the grassed rectangles in the middle) and then rotate again to see the curving line of houses on Staunton Avenue: www.google.com/maps/@52.8399914,-6.9416993,3a,75y,104.56h...

Modified herring bone pattern in field is for land drainage. What I can't see are the terracotta clay pipes. Maybe they have been laid and are awaiting to be back filled. The heaps along the headland look to be stone to be laid over the pipes.

That's Graiguecullen GAA pitch bottom right - drainage works underway... And Carlow Castle is visible across the river in the background

I added a note on an ad for C.A.B. painted on a shed roof - the C.A.B. Motor Company Limited is still in business across the road: Streetview. Founded in 1924, but only moved to Monahan Road in the 70s.

Still shown, looking derelict, on Google Earth, but gone on Google maps. Perhaps demolished fairly recently? Or perhaps not? See www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/20867...
