Name those cars! ... ... ...

Interesting selection of what would now be considered classic cars here. Mainly NI or UK reg too with just one local reg, EZP, that I can make out. Nice Rover P5 out towards the pier...probably not local. Couple of Hillman Avengers too and Mk 1 Escorts, Renault 12 in saloon and estate versions, Hillman Hunter, Sunbeam (as it would have been then) Alpine, Capri, a couple of Cortinas (Mk 2 saloon and Mk4 estate), Peugeot 404, a Morris Marina and Yayyy...a Fiat 126 Bambino! Do I get a prize beachcomber australia ?

Bella foto.

The lovely Elinor seemed to be interested In St George's Church (see 'similar items' in the NLI catalogue), which must have been under some threat in the 1960s. "... The Church of St. Thomas opened in Cathal Brugha Street in 1931, in 1966 St. Georges merged with the parish of St. Thomas's. In 1990 St. George's closed, and it became the parish church of St. George and St. Thomas. ... ... " ... In the 1980s scaffolding had to be erected around the spire because the Portland stone was cracking due to expansion of the iron cramps that held it in place. The Church of Ireland, having tried in vain to raise funds for the restoration of the church, sold the building in 1991 to an actor, Mr Sean Simon, who had plans to turn it into a theatre.[6] After its deconsecration, the bells (which Leopold Bloom heard ringing in Ulysses) were removed to Taney Parish church in Dundrum, while the ornate pulpit was carved up to decorate Thomas Read's pub in Parliament Street.[6] The church in Temple Street then became the Temple Theatre, then a night-club, but further attempts were made to raise public funds for its restoration; first, in 1991, to celebrate Dublin's role as European City of Culture, and later from the Millennium Committee.[6] In 2004 the building found a new purchaser who oversaw extensive restoration and renovation to provide office facilities."

Reign of Edward V11 ---22 January 1901 – 6 May 1910

The pillar box has Edward VII's whatsit, so it was put there 1900 - 1910 ? Ed.- O Mac posted first. And got Edward VII's dates right !

Looking at the StreetView, it appears the added P&T lettering is now gone. Probably been painted over?

Left-field connection between today's Wiltshire image and Monday's one: Bloomsday in Monkstown -> Patrick Kavanagh -> Raglan Road

From the shadows, it looks like there are two people there!

Irish251 Agreed!

Sorry sister, but you hat is funny. May the Lord forgive me... Do you take confessions?

The "WZD" registration on the Ford Anglia dates from 1962/3 so that further confirms the likely date for the photo.

Irish251 Thanks, and have added Ford Anglia as a tag...
