Streetview Established in the 1790s, Kennan & Sons survived until the late 1980s - they exhibited a range of machine tools at the 1962 London exhibition - and were based at their "Engineering Iron Works" in Fishamble Street, Dublin, Ireland, one of the oldest parts of the city. Next to the works was the personal residence of Mr. Kennan, a house modified in the 1820s but surviving today, beautifully restored, as the Contemporary Music Centre and retaining its typical-of-the-period columned door case, embellished lead fanlight, graceful windows and elegant staircase. From here.

This particular corner of Fishamble Street seems to be fairly well covered on Flickr. Including some images (maybe a decade or so either side of this Wiltshire shot) of probable Kennan employees themselves - and the demonstrations around the Wood Quay debacle across the street.... www.flickr.com/photos/94338156@N03/9736730422/ www.flickr.com/photos/29381920@N03/12728071044/ www.flickr.com/photos/edsijmons/14073161070/

That will be post 1958 when the assets of the GNR were split between the UTA and CIE. One of those rail buses is preserved and resident in the transport gallery of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra. www.flickr.com/photos/13073434@N03/40115430283/in/datepos...

According to wikipedia these are called railbuses. The wikipedia article includes a photo of a GNR Railbus at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum.
