Post rising. mid to late 1920's ? It's 10:30 and there's an elephant on a window ledge. On the side of No.8 can be seen "DunLaoghaire". It was Kingstown prior to 1920.

The street sign for Princes Street is in the (then) modern style which - I believe - were erected during the city-wide makeover around the time of the Eucharistic Congress. Thus narrowing the time window to after 1931/2. The corresponding ones in Dun Laoghaire Borough were a distinctive mustard colour, the Dublin City & County ones were green.

We have used the presence or absence of tram horses to date many a photo over the years. Today can we focus a little on the working conditions for tram horses back then. We have seen photos of tramway buildings and power stations, but I do not think we have ever seen a Tramway stables or other infrastructure associated with the horses.

Opened Thursday 3/02/1887 according to -

"In the 1880’s, two Belfast residents, Paul Hazeltine and Nathanial Wilson, left to the city of Belfast, funds for the establishment of a library and for use in educational endeavors. Those bequests were combined and on February 3, 1887, the Maine State Legislature established the Belfast Free Library. ..."

The trams were electrified in 1905, so date range 1888 to 1904

Well this isn't much help, but was of interest to me. If you look at the background, you'll see that the statue to William Smith O'Brian isn't there; the statue in the background is Sir John Gray. The Smith O'Brian memorial was erected in 1870, but at the apex of D'Olier St and the quay. It wasn't moved to O'Connell St till 1929. The Gray memorial went up in 1879.
