    Cataloguer was having a bad day- EAS_1844 next door is titled Beechwood Avenue, Kingstown. Beechwood Avenue is in Ranelagh, near enough to todays shot. Likewise EAS_1841, EAS_1845, and Charleston Road in EAS_1842


    There are a number of Kingstown/Dun Leary shots in the early 1830s which are not digitized, but are probably correct given that they show the harbour. No harbour in Ranelagh/Milltown.


    After this sequence of mis-titled shots, we have the nearby but correctly titled:

    South Dublin Libraries have this VERY similar view, dated "c. 1881".
    Spot the differences (hint: fence)

    Probably the weir below Rathfarnham Bridge, from memory

    beachcomber australia Your photo makes me think it’s the weir below Orwell Rd Bridge (Waldron’s Bridge), although I can’t place either buildings as the GeoHive map viewer won’t open the 25” without a sign in. Anybody else experiencing this?

    That condensed script again ...

    I thought “those rails look a long way apart” and then realised that 5 foot 3 is the standard track gauge in Ireland.

    There is a longer shot Stereo Pair - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000565278 - where the creeper on the temple is a few feet lower. A few years between the photos? Didn't O Mac say recently that the line was duplicated in 1882 ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Yes pre 1882 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killiney_railway_station ... The original station was located on nearby Strathmore Road. The current station opened on 6 May 1882 under the name Killiney & Ballybrack, replacing both Killiney and Ballybrack stations, the Ballybrack suffix was dropped in 1921. The original Killiney station had itself replaced the earlier Obelisk Hill, Killiney station on 1 January 1858. ...

    A couple of later photos showing double tracks and this station abandoned, the platform falling apart, and the temple almost covered by trees - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336702 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000323128

    There is a Royal Plate version with less blur - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000319443 - which was used in this online book, 'Hutchinson's Britain Beautiful' Ed. Walter Hutchinson, 1920. See page 361 -

    Which doesn't help with the date.

    Not 100% sure this is the same bridge.

    I see it on the unlinkable 25" map, which is here on Google Maps, in what is now Dún a Rí Forest park.

    Yes, there it is on the 6" too.

    Class: Well

    Townland: CABRA

    Scheduled for inclusion in the next revision of the RMP: Yes
