    Horse drawn trams, so before 1900.

    1892 In a major step forward, some 78 electrically powered lampposts were installed along O’Connell St, O’Connell Bridge, Westmoreland St, D’Olier St, College St, College Green, Grafton St, Dame St, Parliament St, Mary St and Henry St. These were the first electric lamps ever to light Dublin’s main streets and were powered from a new station at Fleet St. This project also seems to have been the first unified lighting scheme for the city centre. Quite American in design, these were the tallest lampposts ever erected on O’Connell St to date. They featured long elegant columns rising out of a typical fluted base and were capped with a hurricane-like lamp – the glass globe suspended from a hooped frame and powered by the cable entering its underside from the top of the shaft. Some, if not all also featured a mesh-like wire over the globes. ...

    The poster on the tram (see note) for "ROYAL OLIVETTE" might be for this 1879 comic opera, popular in the 1880s. Might provide a date via old newspapers ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_noces_d%27Olivette

    beachcomber australia I'm thinking Royal Olivette must have been a product rather than a show - no room for theatre, times or dates here. Something from the folks who brought us Royal custard?

    I really like your collection of old photos! Fascinating indeed. There's no cathedral in this photo btw. The building to the right is known as the nieuwe kerk, i.e. the new church and although it's an impressive building, it's not a cathedral. As far as I know there has never been a catholic cathedral in Amsterdam; the see of the diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam is located in the city of Haarlem.
