    It really does make it look as though the city ends there. It's very different today. goo.gl/maps/z9B3kNGDCB12

    From the Church of Ireland wiki - "...The tower houses six bells, three of which are Ireland's oldest bells, dating from 1423. The bells were rung for the Angelus and after the Reformation continued to be rung every morning and evening to call the people to and from their work. Due to the fragile state of the tower they were not rung between 1898 and 1983 [ie at the time of this photo]. After the tower was strengthened the bells were retuned in 1983. One of them, the tenor, was recast in memory of Alexander E. Donovan (1908-1982), who was closely connected with the church. They are now rung every week.... "

    Now Saint Michael's Close (Streetview) There was a fashion for renaming Lanes as anything else, like Blackhorse Lane to Blackhorse Avenue, because the city was a kip full of tenements and Avenue sounded more suburban and classy. Now things have come 180, and everyone wants to be cool and urban and live in a lane.

    Niall McAuley And yet Niall this image seems to show a much steeper drop than I remember in St. Michaels Close? I love this shot, the whole insight it gives to life on a city street at that time!

    I love how, in this narrow little lane, there is a water hydrant right in the middle of the road!

    Swordscookie Maith thú! Dán álainn gan dabht! Doubt if it is a fire tender. They would have employed a team of 4 horses at least, for speed. Could be provisioning them thar ships though?
