Streetview GeoHive OSI 25" map. The photographer is on Blessington Street, Berkeley Street is crossing right-left, and we can see the length of Nelson Street.

Trams passing here would have been 9 and 10 to Phoenix Park and 19 and 20 to Glasnevin. According to wikipedia, the first of those electrified was #9, 22 November 1898.

While we're in the census, here is John Joseph Clarke, today's photographer, in 1901.

Niall McAuley Niall, I'm only popping in for a moment - will be back later. Would you mind putting that census link under the photo of J.J. himself, if it is he? (I know, I know, what did my last slave die of? :)

A very interesting machine. I worked in places with belt drives like that in the '60's and it is hard to imagine today with the technology we have available to us. Note that the belt on the extreme right which appears to be the main drive belt is twisted? This was to reverse the direction of turn on the top spindle and wheels.

Swordscookie Ah, clever! So, do you think that they let the churn turn one way for a while, and then twisted the drive belt for another while for each load of mil? Or would each full churning time be one way OR the other??
