Streetview maps.app.goo.gl/2mYNueVMPYL8iyfG7 The Dublin Unitarian Church was opened 1863... Site bought from Synges family of playwright JM Synge fame. Something new everyday !!! www.dublinunitarianchurch.org/church-building/

Carters are demonstrating "social distancing". from street view so much is still familiar, the green is still encircled with the little (but renewed) posts

Foxglove The granite posts are still there but the linking chains are gone a while.. I remember them being there in the 70's.... the 1970's

I love this one. We're usually over the other side of the Green (top of Grafton Street, near the Shelbourne, etc.).

Foxglove Looking the stone posts on the street view, some ones present day are cleaner that others. But all retain top cast/forged steel fitting for the chain. Modern copies? James Dobson &Co are listed in 1891 Kellys Post Office directory as Upholsterers and Decorators 20 Maddox St and 114 St Stephens Green. A sunny day and not a dog to be seen.

The Irish Industries Lace Depot in Dublin`s Grafton Street was one of the most important retailing outlets for Irish lace while Arnott and Co was another. Harrod’s in London commissioned lace gowns which were displayed in their shop windows. The Princess of Wales wore a Youghal shawl when she married the future king Edward VII and, in 1873, Queen Victoria invited Youghal lace makers to Buckingham Palace to demonstrate their art. Queen Mary`s wedding dress train was made of Youghal and contained 5,250,000 stitches made from nearly 12 miles of thread.

I see the bebrollied priest of drogheda is in this picture too. Seems to have glammed up a bit for the capital.

great

The Irish Lace Depot, whose interior is illustrated here, was purchased by Lady Aberdeen from the family of the lace dealer, Ben Lindsay, on his death. Apart from its sales, it provided another important service, because it supplied designs and materials. Lady Aberdeen also organized a sales outlet in London and part of the profits from the Chicago Exhibition was used to set up a depot there. irishartsreview.com/gpairisartsrevi/pdf/1988/20492056.pdf... Still no dates though.

derangedlemur "I see the bebrollied priest of drogheda is in this picture too. Seems to have glammed up a bit for the capital." They had women priests (bebrollied or otherwise) in those days??? I wonder what all the fuss is about now so? It looks more like a lady with a parasol though on closer examination but as you said it just MIGHT be a priest who has glammed up a bit;-)

Wow what a great old photo! A variety of styles, the gentleman leaning on his umbrella reminds me of the Duke of Edinburgh present day! :O)

Hamilton Long are still in business.

The same corner in Streetview

Barnardo (the furrier, and yes, original of Barnardos charity) is visible as J M B at #108, and they are still there.

The gentleman with the umbrella looks like the Duke of Edinburgh! Great photo!
