The flats are still there, but I don't see the railing.

The children look to be in the 3 to 8 year old range, that would make them 51 to 56 years olds now, I wonder how long before someone recognises them?

That is such a lovely photo. I see two are wearing the same style of dress. Doubtless they're sisters. I remember a girl telling me that she was from Ballymun and then added emphatically "but not the flats!" That would have been the early 70s.

Robin Parkes Good morning Robin, no that was taken in 1969 when the complex had just been opened! I remember a meeting with some of the people who lived in the towers and they occasionally referred to the people "on the level"! It took a while for the penny to drop - they were referring to those fortunate people who lived in the houses within the complex!

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I edited my comment after seeing 1969. It was the "Taken on August 3, 2011" that threw me.

This photo must have been taken by Elinor, since Reginald died in 1968, the previous year. catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000046408 Requesting an updated and more detailed blurb about the Wiltshires, and/or a Wikipedia article. Please !

I love the square format and the use of a twin lens reflex.

I don't think there'll be any street view inside there? This entire area was a warren of streets and laneways until the start of the slum clearances and the construction of the Iveagh Trust buildings for Guinness employees nearby!
Niall McAuley said:
I think the building to the left is called Something Mansion, a very grandiose term in a slum district like this.

~~1903~~ 1881 description ...
... In the older part of Dublin, between the Castle and the River Liffey runs off from Werburgh-street a narrow alley which then brought you into a small square of dismal brick houses, called 'Derby-square.' Very few of the wealthier and more fashionable inhabitants of Dublin know the existence. of this dreary quadrangle. The houses were high and dingy; many of the windows were patched with paper; clothes lines extended across from window to window, and on the whole the place had an air of having seen better days — better, but never very good. In this Derby-square, it appears, was a boys' school; and here Clarence Mangan received what scholastic training he ever had. ...
From a Freeman's Journal (Sydney, Australia) article talking about the centenary of James Clarence Mangan's birth. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/108254409 Edit: It appears the description is even older than 1903 - it appears in this 1881 newspaper - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/200455966
