Suck Diesel Excellent, I will update.

What a beautiful photograph... the flowers in the background match the young ladies dresses - great composition and color!!!! Love it.

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.

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. Note the distinctive border.flic.kr/s/aHsk1L527d
