Looks like it can really fly.

steam power ! maybe it's an early version of " the Doc's" de Lorena time machineA lot of really nice graphical art work seems to have generated the original image

This is a factory photo by the makers Manlove, Alliott & Co. Ltd. of a steam tram made to the patented design of Edward Perrett. It was delivered on a trial basis to the Dublin and Lucan Steam Tramway which operated a narrow gauge service between Parkgate St. and Lucan between 1881 and 1897. I haven’t seen any actual photos of it in service so don’t know if it was successful or was returned. The line was electrified in 1897 and renamed as the Dublin and Lucan Electric and ran until 1925.

I don't think today's health and safety rules would like the upper deck stairs, look like an accident waiting to happen in particular if there was any sudden braking! 😄

Published 1891 per the catalogue, where the title is Dublin and Lucan Steam Tramway, Perrott Steam Car.

That line was electrified in 1900. The steam engine we saw previously was not one of these:

"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.

Looking East along North Earl Street. 25" map Streetview.

Dates: After tram electrification, 1898 Before this was all destroyed in 1916. Reverse view of destruction

I note a swan necked light (these arrived with the tram electrification) which does not have the earliest globe with wire cage, suggesting nearer 1916 then 1900.

Adverts for the Pioneer Teeth Institute appeared in the Dublin Evening Mail in July and August 1907. They were giving away absolutely free a few sets of teeth to the deserving poor.
