  It seems to be looking east out over St Alphonsus Convent to the sea. About here, I think: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,714802,736883,11,9

• Niall McAuley said:

  The obvious place for an elevated view in the cemetery is the O'Connell round tower. Shadows are being cast right to left, so we are probably looking East-ish. Sure enough, we would see the Botanic Gardens if looking North, and a lot of railway looking South. Even by the time of the 25" map at GeoHive, nearer the end of the possible date range, the only terraced houses are to the east.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Saint Teresa's Road is built, but Saint Teresa's Place is incomplete. The NIAH map is sadly blank in this part of Dublin.

• Niall McAuley said:

  DannyM8 Pretty early alright if it is early 1860s for a photo on our Commons stream. This is one of our earliest on here for which we have an exact date - 10th November 1863, but the very lovely Miss Coddington dates from circa 1852...

  I wonder where it was? I don't see it on the OS historical maps. From Wikipedia article on Dean's Grange (founded 1861): The Burial Act of 1855 resulted in the closure of many of the older churchyards in Dublin and surrounds due to overcrowding. This drove the need to find new lands for cemeteries.
