Resemblance of Grand Parade, Cork. Many of the building have gone, to be sure.

I think it’s Grand Parade in Cork. The buildings seem to match with those about halfway on the left here, including the plumbing sign.

There is also a note in the catalogue: "In envelope with NPA POLF193 and NPA POLF194 inscribed with "? Terence McSwiney fuenral" and "Dev Speech Graveside of ?" on cover. Includes stamp on interior with manuscript note "MS Autograph / Name Grattan Henry / to David La touche Date 6 Aug 1778"." So it may be Terence McSwiney's funeral.

Just sticking in my two cents here, Sharon Corbet. Thousands lined the procession route in Cork, but I don't think that this size or type of crowd gathering was allowed for Terence MacSwiney's funeral itself...

St Michan's, Dublin again? Previously -

Per this IT article, there was a dig to look for Emmet's grave at St Peters in Aungier St in 1903: Irish Times

A letter to Freeman's Journal on 12th July 1905 from William H Grattan Flood begins:

The recent interesting find of portion of the slab of the Emmet family vault in St. Peter's Church, Dublin, has suggested the query as to who was Catherine Emmet, whose name appears upon the slab?

and concludes:

Much credit is due to Mr Fallon and Mr D A Quaid for their untiring search in St Peter's.

So is this Mr Fallon Fuller or Mr Quaid? or Mr Grattan Flood?

Here's the book written by D. A. Quaid on the subject of Robert Emmet's grave.

Judging by the picture on his wikipedia entry it's not W'H Grattan Flood.

The inquest was held on the 27th October 1920, according to the Pall Mall Gazette of that day.

An article on Father Dominic: Fr Dominic ministered to MacSwiney throughout his hunger strike in Brixton Prison and was present at his death on 25 October 1920.

The prison at Brixton still has a tall brick wall like the one seen at right, as in this Streetview. (Not suggesting that is the same spot).
