    Trams that moved by themselves must have been a wonder....especially to the horse.

    The fella with the umbrella is about to get an electric shock from the overhead wires! Is this the right corner? Streetview - goo.gl/maps/PaMsBMMSzLXgt4g99

  • O Mac said:
    The horse tram is on the wrong side of the road. Unless it's a rear hoof drive tram.

    "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.

    48 lower Baggot Street is now a Spar.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    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.

    Per Wikipedia the trams to Sandymount were electrified in March 1901, earliest date. The trams stopped operating in 1940.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Those look like horse chestnut trees in flower in the background, so springtime.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In streetview, we can see that Batts and Murphys have been replaced by an ugly AIB. It looks more modern than the latest possible date here (trams). Edit: looking again, I think the bank just replaced Batt's. The distinctive 1st floor window of Murphy's is still there.

    Ryans Sandymount House pub was Ryans in this shot, but Fleming in the 1905ish French images.

    A google search suggests Fleming opened in 1893. He was here for the 1911 census.

    We were here before with O'Connor (pub is still Fleming):
