    Oooh, another fire ladder! marked on the 25" as a Fire Escape. Trees now obscure this aspect in streetview
  • Niall McAuley said:
    A set of fire ladders in Kingstown in the archive, and another in Monkstown
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In this Bing bird's eye view, you can see that the long building with a skylight at right is the dead zoo.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Dating detail: swan necked lamp-post at left means after 1901 and tram electrification. No actual light on the lamp-post may mean it is during electrification works.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    (Unlike many other streets, the swan necked lamp posts are still there in streetview).

    The same image was published in the 'Irish Citizen' on 19 July 1913, so probably taken shortly before (?)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marguerite_Palmer

    "Marguerite or Margaret Blanche Palmer (born 18 May 1886) was an Irish suffragette and was among the first group of suffragettes imprisoned in Ireland, and later known as one of the "Tullamore Mice". ... ..."
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Here she is with the other 'Tullamore Mice' - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000670101
  • beachcomber australia said:
    From the wiki link above "...On 5 September 1910 she married Richard James Weldon Palmer, a commercial traveller from Wexford, later an accountant. ...". So this photo must be after she married, 1910 + .
  • Carol Maddock said:
    This photograph was taken in the Stanley Studio, in John Spooner's beloved Lafayette Building in Dublin.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There is a photographer's stamp bottom left corner - " ... tar" ??

An ancient Abbey, abandoned and alone

    “The golden sun is sinking far
    Beyond Kilcummin shore,
    The pale faced moon of rosy June
    Doth rise to waken lore;
    The evening star illumines far
    Around old Nephin’s crown,
    And muffled roar of Rosses shore
    Doth swell these valleys round;
    This silent strand, these waters grand,
    So deep, so lone, so blue;
    This Abbey Moyne whereon I stand,
    This prospect of Moyview,
    The calm repose of evenings close
    That wraps this pool of Moyne,
    And wailing cry of seabirds high
    Deep silence all enjoin.”
    (Rev. James Greer)

    catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320969 ROY (this photo)
    catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000333039 CAB
    catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000326982 IMP
  • Niall McAuley said:
    beachcomber australia A low ROY, a medium CAB and a huge IMP catalogue number. I think a date is unlikely from catalogue neighbours!

    Happy new year, all.

    EDIT: Wait, it is not a low ROY number 607 as indicated in the link, it should be 6072 - hope for a nearby dated shot after all.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There is another photo - L_ROY_06075 - which shows a newish grave stone with "1898" (or possibly 1888) see - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320972
