    Sadly demolished in 1965 to make way for the ESB head office maps.app.goo.gl/hoZiXDFxqcAcVdMT7

    The car is a late-model Ford Prefect.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    O Mac Just another act of civic vandalism, for which no one was ever charged. I think the ESB have since moved out.

    Irish251 Probably late ‘59 car reg Edit: late 1960

    Bloomsday, 16 June 1954 was a Wednesday ... VW Beetle bonnet?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Morning Mary, please clean your pince-nez and have a closer look. ;) That’s not a booth. That’s the carriage they’d been swanning around Dublin in (please excuse me, while I tuck away that dangling preposition).
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There were two carriages in this birds-eye view, and also from the street - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050506 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050374 Can anyone identify the American car behind the VW?
  • Suck Diesel said:
    beachcomber australia looks like a Chevy name badge, but don't know my models, some sort of land yacht, anyway.

    Carol Maddock Is that not a Cab?

    Wonderful! In a past life I used to work on St Stephen's Green, just a few doors away from Iveagh House. I remember reading years ago in a book of ghost stories that tradition held that a ghostly cross appeared at one of the windows every Holy Thursday. I've heard at least two explainations for it. The first is that a Catholic servant died in one of the rooms and was refused permission for a visit from a priest by the Protestant owners. The apparition of the cross is said to be a reminder of that injustice. The second is that one of the Guinness family was dying and was being assisted at her deathbed by a Catholic nurse who held a crucifix. Lord Iveagh, we are told, snatched away the crucifix and flung it out the window. I'm not sure if anyone goes to look for the cross any more. I heard somewhere that a crowd used to gather on Holy Thursday to spot it. I suppose a trick of the light is the most likely explaination. Has anyone ever seen it?

    Bernard Healy I have not! Though will keep an eye out for it in future...

    Sometimes Flickr is amazing! In 2016 (including bollards) via Michael Foley, who has a fantastic album of interior shots which will delight Morning Mary - From his album - www.flickr.com/photos/michaelfoleyphotography/albums/7215...

    I see the lovely Elinor Wiltshire took at least six photos of this facade for some reason. All the photos manage to cut off the top of the building, and show a good deal of road and parking spaces. Was her viewfinder skew-whiff?

    Bernard Healy There is a great photo in the Catalogue from the Morgan Aerial Photographic Collection NPA MOR630 which shows Iveagh Gardens and the back of the house.
