donnybrook

I'll vote for Donnybrook. (OSI Map). Here's someone memories of Donnybrook, including a list of shops - with Gillick's the greengrocer at 29, Kennedy's Pub at 22-24, etc.

Looks familiar, alright. Did we have one of Donnybrook before?

It's similar to this one, but not a match: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000298612

The pub there could be Kiely's. www.google.ie/maps/@53.322181,-6.236936,3a,75y,123.24h,82...

There's a Lizzie Gillick, "fruiterer", at 29.2 Donnybrook Rd in the 1911 Census. Along with James Dunne, a boot and shoemaker, at 29.1.

rush hour... :-) -- Seen on your photo stream. ( ?² )

Your bang on the money, its Fredrick street north, right outside the entrance of the garden of remembrance today. One of the buildings has a distinct archway on the entrance and the wall surface is different to all the others in the row. This building is still the same today. :) maps.google.ie/maps?q=frederick+street+dublin&hl=en&a...

PS. I'm a big fan of the collection. Is this collection displayed anywhere I can view them? and can copies be obtained? I've come across a few buildings that have some significance with my family and it would be nice to have a copy. Thanks. :)

Rihslw alw Excellent! Thanks for that - have amended location on the map...

"The driver of Horsecar No 50, in informal attire with bowler hat, urges his charges along Lower Baggot Street with a Donnybrook service — photo undated, but thought to have been taken in the early 1890s ..." From - www.tramwaybadgesandbuttons.com/page148/page149/page324/p...

Hegarty's pawnbroking establishment was at 48 Lower Baggot Street according to numerous newspaper advertisements in Freeman's Journal and elsewhere.

Yikes! SPAR! - maps.app.goo.gl/qh7uNje25trVEuQd9

48 lower Baggot Street is now a Spar.

There was the no. 9 Donnybrook and Phoenix Park via Merrion Square. This was a horse service from 1873 (Donnybrook), electrified in 1899. So, a rather wide date range, may be able to date no. 50 when I arise from my slumbers.
