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.

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"

Are you sure Gay Byrne is not in the car? Lovely photograph, pity they did away with the trams, can you imagine the tourist attraction they would be today?

Lovely photograph!

Swordscookie Never mind the tourists, it'd be great for Dubliners! Love the Luas, but it just doesn't have the same glamour as these beasts...

My father still gives out about them getting rid of this!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Sheba78 In the Irish Independent from 1 June 1959, it was reported that there were posters on front and back of the very last tram, saying: "Farewell dear friends, this is the end: we've travelled miles and miles; for eight and fifty years we shared your laughter, tears and smiles. 'Tho some may say we're worn out, expensive or too slow, we brought you safely up and down in sunshine rain or snow."
