    This is the original site of Alexandra College in a (to me at least) almost unrecognisable Earlsfort Terrace.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Streetview. There's another photo with a slightly different view in which what's now the NCH is a bit more recognisable.

    Sharon Corbet Agree - what is that tower on the left?

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    From Sharon Corbet Link. The school was founded in 1866 and takes its name from Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the school's patron. The school colours, red and white, were adopted from the Danish flag in her honour. Alexandra College was founded by Anne Jellicoe, a Quaker educationist, in the name of furthering women's education. Under Anne Jellicoe, the school grew from a small establishment focused on providing a governess-style education to Irish Protestant ladies into a pioneering force for women's rights and education, providing an education to women equivalent to that available in boys' schools, with a grounding in mathematics, history, classics and philosophy. As Alexandra settled into its role, Anne Jellicoe was convinced that a major obstacle to the liberal education of women was their exclusion from the university campus. She passionately believed that until women were admitted to Trinity College Dublin (founded in 1592), the voice of women would not commonly be heard in politics, literature or in academic debate.

A slight touch of over exposure?

    That Triumph Herald 13/60 (see The Lemur's note) is 1967 + en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Herald#Herald_13/60

    The BMW might date it if it's a mk1 5 series. Every other car is '60s or older, though, so I doubt it is.
  • George FitzPatrick said:
    On the corner by the phone box Fiat 124, Austin Mini, Mk 1 Ford Escort? but tail lamp a bit to big to my eye. Fourth car looks like a mid 60s Ford Falcon then a Mini and an Austin A60.

    I wonder what course that was, there seems to be a high number of women grads for the time?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Absolutely, Sarah, so hoping someone might spot a familiar face that might allow us to narrow it down...

    Several different hoods being worn, these are graduates from several degree courses.

    There is a reference to UCD conferring on Page 3 of the Irish Times of Monday July 17th, but it's behind a paywall. Ditto Page 2 of the Indo that Monday. And the Sunday Indo of the 16th, page 2.
