    Happy 4000th!

    In megazoom, I can read that the huge carts opposite belong to Thomas White & Co.

    Since absorbed by the House of Fraser department stores.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The trees are marked on the 25", weak evidence we are before 1900.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The barracks dates from 1891. I see scaffolding and an unfinished roof.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, when I saw Aldershot on the carts, I thought for a moment that Robert French had gone "out foreign" for once!
  • John Spooner said:
    Thomas White & Co had their fingers in several pies. As well as department stores, they wer estate agents "Have all the best houses available on their Register, furnished and unfurnished, in immediate vicinity of the Aldershot Comamand Barracks" (Aldershot News - Friday 12 January 1917). As well as Aldershot they had a branch in Farnborough (or more accurately North Camp, between Aldershot and Farnborough). Their premises there were on Lynchford Road, which coincidentally was my great-grandfather's address in 1886-1889.

Hussars! Huzzah!

    It is still Hanlon's.... maps.app.goo.gl/fyvomaJsKwkBNBX49 my guess would be that photo was taken shortly before midday... shadows are to the NNW

    Wikipedia includes a photo in O'Connell Street labelled: The inauguration of Seán T. O'Kelly as President of Ireland in 1945. The 2nd Cavalry Squadron of the Blue Hussars escort the President, who travelled in the late Queen Alexandra's landau. The Landau and the Hussars were later scrapped which may explain why I never heard of them before.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    A pic auctioned at Whytes is labellled: The Blue Hussars, officially called the Mounted Escort, was a ceremonial unit of the Irish Army established in 1932. It escorted the President of Ireland on state occasions, most famously to and from presidential inaugurations between 1938, when the first president took office, and 1948 when the Escort was disbanded.Seven photographs of the procession of president Sean T. O'Kelly on his inauguration. O'Kelly travelled in the late Queen Alexandra's horse-drawn landau, the first (and only) time when a president went to his or her inauguration in a horse-drawn carriage rather than a car, escorted by the Mounted Escort, or Blue Hussars"; together with a copy photograph of mounted British troops at Dublin Castle.

    So the route was Dublin Castle, up O'Connell Street and then presumably North Circular Road? (Or some shorter but windier route) to the Phoenix Park.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Yes, in NPA OKE/65 they are turning from Berkeley Road onto the NCR. So Castle, College Green, O'Connell St. Parnell Square, Berkeley St/Rd, NCR, todays shot at Hanlon's Corner and into the Phoenix Park.
