    On the 25" OSI Map the lower reservoir is already there, but the upper is "in construction. (You have to zoom right in to see them, though.)
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Wikipedia article on the Vartry reservoirs. The lower one was completed between 1863-68, the upper in 1923. The engineer was Parke Neville, the Dublin City and Waterworks Engineer. Plus a 1906 Postcard of the Vartry Reservoir in Stillorgan that this fed into.

    I'd guess from the shadows that it's looking more or less north but I don't see the sugarloaf.

    Fantastic
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    derangedlemur I tried wandering around the reservoir on streetview, but eventually gave up. That said, this doesn't look too far off. The Sugarloaf is off to the right left.

Leaning to the left?

    Looking down Prince's Street. This O'Connell St. shot from the 20s shows signs pointing down this street to the Capitol:

  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per Wikipedia: began life on 10 August 1920 as the La Scala Theatre and Opera House. Despite its name, the La Scala was a cinema. Paramount Pictures took over the lease on the building and renamed it the Capitol. Under new management, the Capitol ran a live show every week to accompany the current film ... The last stage show was on 29 October 1953. The Capitol continued as a cinema until 1972.

    'Flight of the Doves' was released in 1971, which wrenches this photo out of the '60s ... www.imdb.com/title/tt0067104/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_of_the_Doves

    While fleeing across the Irish countryside, two orphans are pursued by their villainous uncle, a master of disguises. With Ron Moody, Willie Rushton, Niall Toibín, Dana (!) and Noel Purcell as the Rabbi (!!).

    My grandfather was an inspector on the trams, but I have a feeling he started out as a conductor. A bit of a stretch, but it might even be him centre frame. Great photo.

    In the foreground are white lines painted on the cobblestones, or they could be white stones set into the road. Is this a first for these old NLI photos?

    blackpoolbeach Early pedestrian crossing as in our Cork photo with the running lady?

    Couldn't find any mention of the name Retz in the census for 1901 or 1911, but have found the phone number for George Retz, Pork Butcher, in the 1913 phone directory.
