A power station was needed to provide the electricity - these are the boilers from the power station in Fonthill. There's some info about it here at Library Ireland:
On 28th July 1899 a site was acquired from John Godley at Fonthill to build a power station. This was equipped with two 100 h.p. steam driven dynamos, to produce current for the line at 500 volts. Some of the output, at a lower voltage, was available for lighting local houses. When the line closed the supply was continued for some time. Power was then being supplied to two churches, a convent, the Hermitage Golf Club and many houses in Lucan and District..

The building is still there, note the roof vent for steam.

Built by Galloways of Manchester - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_%26_J_Galloway_%26_Sons , which includes an 'exploded' sketch of a boiler with a similar face (1910) - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/Galloway_boil...

Fred Dean Snr. The Geohive maps are a bit more complicated than the old OSI Map Viewer, you can't simply copy the url. Instead you have to save the map (Share => disk symbol). You have to at least title the map and then you get a url. I think this link is what you were looking for.

Simpler times. Less air pollution.

CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY There wasn't, you know. The gas was all coal gas, heating was all turf or coal, electricity generation (in Dublin) was coal fired, trains were all coal fired. There was also a lot more polluting industry in Dublin in those days. Dublin's not great in terms of air quality, but it's a lot better than it was.

I stand corrected . . . More complicated times. Climate change is a myth.

Happily, there will be new things to discover. The tram number is 264, not 234 as in the NLI catalogue. Where was it going to and come from?

Interesting to see; thanks for posting!

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Why are you posting anything to these greyscale fanatics? None of your images qualify for their mad rules, as they're all full colour scans of a black and white hardcopy, usually yellowed with age and stained with unguessable humours.

Hilarious!
