Gasometers in the foreground with pipe along the top of the wall to or from boiler house. External iron strapping to chimney stack. In a companion plate ROY_0661 there is a side wheel paddle steamer (service boat? )visible. Landing marked to north side of Light on the OSI 25" Other pipes running along top of wall towards light and a larger on (See note)

Before the OSI 25" survey which shows a larger gasometer nearer the camera.

beachcomber australia Still after 1865 as there are pully wheels visible for gasometer. But different to ROY_0659 as there is a lattice beam in Sweeneys photo. So maybe the first gasometer built.

Yay for megazoomability !

Must be before 1880, or we would see this building on the West pier. Edit - no, squinting harder at megazoom, I DO see that building, so it is after 1880. Reading the DIA entry, it is a vague c.1880, so not much help. Towards the end of the STP range, anyhow.

I strongly believe that there is a dog (stereo dogs) in this photo. I just have not found it yet!

Fascinating to see what several of those buildings were from the old 6" map - maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,728699,739061,10,8

From the same viewpoint for comparison - Mr French / Lawrence (c.1900 - the church is 1899 but no tower) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000040815 And the LPP (1990) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000354525

Somewhere near the Marine Hotel, Sutton Cross ?? Googlesphere - goo.gl/maps/26jpzKbqMNveNq6J7 Satellite 3D - www.google.com/maps/@53.3892929,-6.1132911,71a,35y,123.65...

"The Hotel was built in 1897 in what was a sleepy outlying area of Dublin City. The Hotel was then known as the Golfers Hotel later becoming the Strand Hotel and finally in 1913 the Marine Hotel. It was one of the first businesses to have a telephone, its number being “Sutton 25”. The Gerarty sisters owned and managed the Hotel until 1959 when it was purchased by Oswald Johnson who built a seawater indoor swimming pool, a most unique feature at the time. ..." From - www.marinehotel.ie/en/the-hotel/ [possibly a wild goose chase]

The 25" map calls it the "Strand Hotel". The 1901 tram to Howth would be visible in the photo if it was built, so possibly before 1901. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_of_Howth_Tramway

Gardens for a very newly built row of houses, by the looks of it.
