Road a railway viewpoint there may be interesting things here. Does that not show the former sidings to Ballsbridge with a train on it? And was not site of the Dublin and Kingston Railway's original "engine hospital", before move to Canal Street, on the other side of the main line just to the right of the junction? The river will be the Dodder, described by Bergin as "Dublin's River", the railway bridge over it being destroyed in a storm in November 1834 just before it opened. Now there's Facebook(Meta) here with weird green walls or something. ( I've not cross checked anything I'm rambling on about).😇

The hat and the roof of the grandstand match this picture from the Illustrated London News of 26th August 1950.

Edit: but I'm not sure about the collar.

President O'Kelly attended on Friday 11th August, arriving at 3 p.m. (Irish Independent - Saturday 12 August 1950)
John Spooner said:
Judging from a picture in the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News - Wednesday 24 August 1949 (which includes the presidental collar, matching this time), The picture was taken at the 1949 event, and the military man on the right is Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.

how timely!- my best day at the Horse Show was the day the Leaving cert results came out --it was a Thursday; "Ladies Day"--and we phoned the school from a call box near the show rings-- we all got good news!

This looks like so much fun. I noticed the hats right away. I wonder how much those behemoths weighed?

Doubled as sunshades or umbrellas! And not a "Fascinator" in sight... :)
