This Mary made a grreat booboo last evening when uploading some shots to the NLI stream and failed to make them private so as to release one each day:-( The problem was that we had a number of "Tram" shots together and needed to break up the flow with other interests. Sincere apologies to all those who like a daily chase.

This is a reverse view of this recent shot.

Lovely day in Sandymount when the Streetview was taken.

The company Leverett & Frye dates from 1892.

Ryan, Victualler, #92 is now Michael Byrne and Son, Butcher. Ryan's shop was still there in 1971, according to Thom's!

Per Wikipedia the trams to Sandymount were electrified in March 1901, earliest date. The trams stopped operating in 1940.

Those look like horse chestnut trees in flower in the background, so springtime.

In streetview, we can see that Batts and Murphys have been replaced by an ugly AIB. It looks more modern than the latest possible date here (trams). Edit: looking again, I think the bank just replaced Batt's. The distinctive 1st floor window of Murphy's is still there.

Niall McAuley Up and at it early today Niall, Thanks, Mary

Ryans Sandymount House pub was Ryans in this shot, but Fleming in the 1905ish French images.

A google search suggests Fleming opened in 1893. He was here for the 1911 census.

We were here before with O'Connor (pub is still Fleming):
