    Is the tram we see in the distance a Dublin tram or a Hill of Howth Tramway tram?
  • O Mac said:
    That's a Dublin United Tramways Company tram. The Howth terminus was at the base of the East pier.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac Thank you. Mary

    Electric trams but no electric street lamps yet. And the tide is out.

    T. GAISFORD Esq. Offington & Broadwater on chest (see note). Who was he ... ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Thomas Gaisford died in 1898 - www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/sussex/vol6/pt1/pp66-81 "In the 1850s, Thomas Gaisford extended the [Offington Manor] house further, including a new library and a chapel. ..." from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offington

    Beautiful composition
  • John Spooner said:
    With a bit of megazoom and manipulation, one of the big volumes under the rolls on the table appears to have "ORDNANCE SURVEY OF IRELAND" on the spine, and further down "DUBLIN". Actually I'm guessing, all I can make out is "???????? ???VEY OF ????AND" and "??BLIN"

    Yay for megazoomability !
  • Niall McAuley said:
    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!
  • beachcomber australia said:
    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
