National Library of Ireland on The Commons Thank you for the 'virtual sticky bun with extra stickiness'. Bang goes the virtual diet! It's #WorldPhotographyDay (Friday 19/08/2022) And 13:39

is that a small dog on the road aligned with the wall clock at left .... or just a bigger than usual pile if pooh ?

One minute later at 13:40 ...

CORRECTION! It's the same image. Detail re-found.

13:22 with long afternoon shadows. Possibly December? But which year?!

Previously (Golly - 11 years ago!)

The DBC is now open. The streetlights are still the tall globe ones. Early 1900s. Construction underway beside Clerys - the DIA says:

Building: CO. DUBLIN, DUBLIN, O'CONNELL STREET LOWER, NO. 021-27 (CLERY & CO & IMPERIAL HOTEL)
Date: 1902
Nature: Enlargement of premises, comprising reconstruction of Imperial Hotel (Nos. 21 & 22) lately purchased by Clery & Co. Wrought iron canopy over main entrance of hotel with name 'cleverly interwoven', by Fagan & Son

Clerys here has 9 urns on the parapet, if you megazoom this 1910-16 Eason, you can see the parapet has been extended the length of the Imperial Hotel:

There's a huge poster in the window of John Wallis & Sons for the Cork Exhibition. Could it have been this Exhibition in 1902/1903?

They used to be here, beside Fox's: www.google.ie/maps/@53.3441489,-6.2592797,3a,75y,211.22h,.... Seems to be empty now.

Here's where the factory was OSI Map, but according to their website that was after 1902: 1865 - Business formed by Messrs Kapp & Peterson. - The original Peterson Factory was in King Street – it backed onto 55 Grafton Street. 1902 - The factory moved to 113 St. Stephens Green.

There's a huge article about them on the Pipedia.

derangedlemur The shop is now on Nassau St. under the Peterson name only. Just after the Easter Rising they were on Bachelor's Walk too.

Wonder if some of these 1901 Tobacco Pipe Makers/Finishers are in this photograph... All 3 of the O'Connor family from Cornmarket were Tobacco Pipe Makers.
