This is the original site of Alexandra College in a (to me at least) almost unrecognisable Earlsfort Terrace.

Streetview. There's another photo with a slightly different view in which what's now the NCH is a bit more recognisable.

Sharon Corbet Agree - what is that tower on the left?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Apparently Amiens Street station used to be on Earlsfort Terrace.

From Sharon Corbet Link. The school was founded in 1866 and takes its name from Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the school's patron. The school colours, red and white, were adopted from the Danish flag in her honour. Alexandra College was founded by Anne Jellicoe, a Quaker educationist, in the name of furthering women's education. Under Anne Jellicoe, the school grew from a small establishment focused on providing a governess-style education to Irish Protestant ladies into a pioneering force for women's rights and education, providing an education to women equivalent to that available in boys' schools, with a grounding in mathematics, history, classics and philosophy. As Alexandra settled into its role, Anne Jellicoe was convinced that a major obstacle to the liberal education of women was their exclusion from the university campus. She passionately believed that until women were admitted to Trinity College Dublin (founded in 1592), the voice of women would not commonly be heard in politics, literature or in academic debate.

Corner of Clare Street and Merrion Street Lower. Dublin maps.google.ie/maps?q=dame+street&hl=en&ll=53.341...

O Mac That was my gut feel as well. Opp corner to American College and Davenport was my guess. And I was hoping to compare frontages (and chimney patterns) on the lefthand side of "Clare Street" though before declaring. However the protruding bay/balcony put me off. As did the bricked up arched window on top floor of same building. But the main concern was the fact that each house is three windows "wide" in this shot. (But pretty much everything on Clare street is [now] 2 windows "wide").

guliolopez I think your right. Wherever it is, it is on a tram route ......... should narrow it down.

I think I recognise the unusual projecting window in that picture. Might it be Harcourt Street, with the cabs parked on Clonmel Street? I'm pretty sure the corner building & the bay window match. Can't get a decent street view from the correct spot, but this is our bay window: www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=Harcourt+Street%2C+Dublin%... And this is a view looking _in_ to Clonmel Street. www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=Harcourt+Street%2C+Dublin%...

Bernard Healy.... Well done. That's probably the same letter box.

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.
