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

The horse tram is on the wrong side of the road. Unless it's a rear hoof drive tram.

Per Wikipedia the trams to Sandymount were electrified in March 1901, earliest date. The trams stopped operating in 1940.

Those look like horse chestnut trees in flower in the background, so springtime.

In streetview, we can see that Batts and Murphys have been replaced by an ugly AIB.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):

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.

O Mac derangedlemur Very good.
