GoogleMaps Satellite 3D (thirsty!) - www.google.com/maps/@53.3543913,-6.2838047,990a,35y,18... Someone will know - does the "187.28h" in the google data tell us the height in metres? If so, we could probably work out Monkey's altitude from the perspectives etc.

First thing that jumps out are the floating docks loading the barges to ferry kegs down to the docks for export, all gone now. It looks as if the little tramway to bring kegs to the landing slips were already replaced by lorries by this date.

Also of note is the number of horse an drays in one yard to right and in the other yard to upper left rows of what look like small vans. Is the graded mound with retention edges of wood baulks and barrels waste material brewers grains? see notes on photo.

I think i can make out the Guinness Tank Engine at the Dr Steevens Hospital gate. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/19130644968/ George FitzPatrick Is that not coal in your note?

I am not sure Built Heritage is the correct album for this photo!

Streetview History of the pub. This photo is during the dismantling of the pub. "A site acquisition order was announced, with Dublin Corporation making room for their new Civic Offices at Wood Quay. Lord Moyne, then vice-chairman of the Guinness Brewery, financed a project to salvage the exterior of the Irish House. In July 1968 scaffolding went up and all embellishments were removed and transported to a warehouse at the Guinness Hopstore."

We've seen O Gorman's pawnbroker sign before. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/9421686276/in/photolist-f...

Is this now the Guiness Storehouse "brand experience" tourist attraction?

Street View

I think so - google aerial view.

Per wikipedia The building in which the Storehouse is located was constructed in 1902 as a fermentation plant for the St. James's Gate Brewery (where yeast is added to the brew). The building was designed in the style of the Chicago School of Architecture and was the first multi-storey steel-framed building to be constructed in Ireland.
