The gate looks 19th century to me. I think it would be a bit late to keep out many Vikings.

According to Kenny’s the Rockland Hotel was built in 1935 and was owned by the Monaghan sisters. The shop with the canopy on the left is a sweet shop. www.kennys.ie/old-galway/1893-the-rockland-hotel

Quite Adept Excellent. So 1935 for a kick-off.

The car at right is registered ZC 6124. This series was used in Dublin from March 1937 to January 1940 and, given the number 6124, it seems likely that it was allocated towards the end of the period.

Sure we may as well have a bit of streetview: maps.app.goo.gl/fVK7AL2yETGR6knF6

Looks from the 25" like there should be tram lines in front of it, but between the blurriness of the road and the general policy of the time of ripping up tramlines, there's nothing identifiable in the image. They're not marked on the post-war 6". Edit: The hotel with the tramlines in front of it is a hundred yards behind the cameraman, on the corner of Atlantic terrace. (still standing, btw).

Tonight's bedtime reading is A treatise on the theory of screws. Or perhaps the earlier work Theory of screws: a study in the dynamics of a rigid body

My favourite Robert Stawell Ball article is "Further development of the relations between impulsive screws and instantaneous screws..."
Carol Maddock said:
But all joking about impulsive screws aside, Ball was a fascinating man, and we're very lucky to have his photos at Library Towers:
Ball was a very talented amateur photographer. His membership until 1911 of the Commissioners of Irish Lights inspection committee that circumnavigated the Irish coast each year gave him the opportunity to capture many splendid images, not only of lighthouses and other navigational facilities, but also of everyday life in the more remote coastal areas. Many of these photographs are held in the National Photographic Archive (NLI).
