1701 – Statue of William of Orange, College Green, Dublin archiseek.com/2012/1701-statue-of-william-of-orange-colle... (Again!!) Of all the military and royal statuary in Dublin, that of William III drew most aggression, serving as it did as a focal point for annual Orange celebrations on July 1, the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, and on November 4, the king’s birthday. On these dates the statue was painted white, the figure adorned with a yellow cloak, the horse garlanded with orange lilies and ribbons, and the surrounding railings painted orange and blue. Placing shamrock and green and white ribbons (the national colours) under the horse’s uplifted foot was even more provocative to the nationalists, who retaliated with stone throwing and rioting. In 1710 the statue was smeared with mud and its sceptre stolen by several students from nearby Trinity College, more of whom were expelled. It was smeared with tar several times, and watchmen had to be posted at the statue to protect it. It was finally taken after it was badly damaged in an explosion in November 1928.

Ooooh! This is better than Google satellite view... :) And it's March 1955 according to the catalogue record, so this is Thursday, 17 March 1955. The Lemur will be able to work out the time of day from the shadows!

There's vast numbers of boaters being worn. Was that the style of the day or is there some boater related event on (Provost's garden party or something)?
Gerry Ward said:
An electric tram and a horse-drawn tram should help with the dating. I believe electrification started in 1896 and was complete by 1901. But when did the last horse trams stop?

I spy at least two top hats. One on a gent just passing the Trinity front gate, and another on a man about to leave frame on left.

There's a bicycle in the modern (post 1890) style on the left in front of the Bank of Ireland. It's a bit blurred but it has two wheels the same size, a trapezoid frame and a chain driven rear wheel.

Dublin Trams: This was completed in four years and when the last horse tram ran on the Bath Avenue line in January 1901, the Dublin area had about 66 electric route miles, of which nearly 50 were owned by the DUTC.
