    The Dublin and Lucan Steam Tramway Company was electrified in 1895. so before then. Got whacked* for laughing at the mummified head of Oliver Plunkett when on primary school excursion to Drogheda. *clip across the ear.

    It's all dual carriageway now. I doubt we'll find much trace of it in streetview.

    We went to visit the Cavan bottling plant, and were each given a 25cl bottle of Cavan Cola, but anyone with the gumption to talk to the workers on the bottling line could get a 1.5L bottle off them. It added a new element of jeopardy to Stop The Bus, I Want a Wee Wee on the way home.

Modern transport at its best!

    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:

    I see a sewing machine on the back of the cart probably heading to the Singer shop on the left?

    You could make an album of Tyler's stores from around the country. They must have been in almost every big town!

    #275 built by the DUTC in 1901

    I know people still alive today that grew up barefooted in the Dublin slums.
