The guy with goggles is the despatch rider for the bike. Possibly a Triumph. When the WW1 started, recruted Despach riders had to bring their own bikes!

Great photograph. The street looks a little wide for Clonmel street or even Harcourt street for that matter. Could it be Dame street?

The truck looks like it could be one of those Crossley Tenders we have seen before -

According to Wikipedia (so it must be true!), the RN plate is from the Preston area and the NC plate is from Manchester.

The Irish have contributed so much to America. Fought, bled, and died during the Civil War, under both the Union and Confederate Flags. John Mitchel's sons fought during the Civil war, though on the Confederate side. He had his reasons.

From the Wikipedia page of Balbriggan, 54 houses and a hosiery factory were destroyed during the "Sack of Balbriggan" on 20 September 1920. The US delegation pledged to rebuild 30 homes and a factory.

Wikipedia says:: On Monday 21 September 1920 during the night the Black and Tans sacked the town of Balbriggan in County Dublin, Ireland. ... On Clonard Street, 20 houses were destroyed. Several pubs were looted and burned including Derham’s Pub and McGowan’s Pub on George’s Hill. Overall a factory, 49 houses and four pubs were burnt down. This is presumably the ruins of the factory.

On the OSI 25" map (somewhat earlier date) there are no factorys on Clonard Street, but there is a Linen Factory on George's Hill.
