    "The driver of Horsecar No 50, in informal attire with bowler hat, urges his charges along Lower Baggot Street with a Donnybrook service — photo undated, but thought to have been taken in the early 1890s ..." From - www.tramwaybadgesandbuttons.com/page148/page149/page324/p...

    Hegarty's pawnbroking establishment was at 48 Lower Baggot Street according to numerous newspaper advertisements in Freeman's Journal and elsewhere.

    There was the no. 9 Donnybrook and Phoenix Park via Merrion Square. This was a horse service from 1873 (Donnybrook), electrified in 1899. So, a rather wide date range, may be able to date no. 50 when I arise from my slumbers.

    Mr Spooner is your man for details of the London Clown Cricketers... Yesterday by chance I came across an account of a cricket match played on the Northolme in 1851. It appeared in the Hull Packet and East Riding Times on July 18th 1851, and in 1874 a rather bizarre-sounding match took place there - 13 London Clown Cricketers against 16 of Gainsborough and district.

    DannyM8 Aha! And 1874!!

    Wikipedia reports that Cork had "a short-lived horse-tram service in the 1870s" More from wikipedia: implemented in 1872 by the Cork Tramway Company. However, the company ceased trading in 1875 after Cork Corporation refused permission to extend the line, mainly because of objections from cab operators to the type of tracks which - although they were laid to the Irish national railway gauge of 5 ft 3in - protruded from the road surface.

    There were horse drawn trams in Belfast from 1872 to 1905. The pillars on the right are the 1867 Ewart's Warehouse
