Great picture. If memory serves, I think the small bridge in the middle was able to swing to allow slightly taller boats and barges further up the river.

This is after 1882 when the widened and renamed ( Carlisle bridge) O'Connell Bridge was opened. The trams were fully electrified by 1901.

Great to see masted ships opposite Customs House!

Per the DIB: Butt was Conservative MP for Harwich from May to July 1852, being elected later that year for Youghal, holding the seat until defeated in the election of July 1865; he sat for Limerick from September 1871 until his death. 1879 Also: Home Government Association established at a meeting in May 1870. This initiative developed in part from the ‘Limerick Declaration’ of 1867, signed by a large number of catholic clergy and organised by Richard Baptist O'Brien (qv), dean of Limerick, himself one of Butt's closest political confidants during these years. I don't see any earlier connection to Limerick, so the pic may date from 1871-79?

I remember the Cabinetti in Naples Railway Station back in 1977. There was a hole in the floor. 2 chains hung from the roof with hoops on the end. It was quite a trick to get your feet into those hoops!
