Streetview maps.app.goo.gl/2mYNueVMPYL8iyfG7 The Dublin Unitarian Church was opened 1863... Site bought from Synges family of playwright JM Synge fame. Something new everyday !!! www.dublinunitarianchurch.org/church-building/

Carters are demonstrating "social distancing". from street view so much is still familiar, the green is still encircled with the little (but renewed) posts

Foxglove The granite posts are still there but the linking chains are gone a while.. I remember them being there in the 70's.... the 1970's

I love this one. We're usually over the other side of the Green (top of Grafton Street, near the Shelbourne, etc.).

Foxglove Looking the stone posts on the street view, some ones present day are cleaner that others. But all retain top cast/forged steel fitting for the chain. Modern copies? James Dobson &Co are listed in 1891 Kellys Post Office directory as Upholsterers and Decorators 20 Maddox St and 114 St Stephens Green. A sunny day and not a dog to be seen.

Comment? The only thing that strikes me is the bench, facing the shrubs. Shouldn't it face the other way, so you don't get to look at the bushes? Look out over the courtyard instead...

Wikipedia says the Great Southern Railway operated from 1925 to'45. It is perhaps the Great Southern and Western Railway, operating from 1844 to 1924. That was a broad-gauge railroad (1.6m 5'3" between the rails). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Southern_and_Western_Railway

Seems to now be an IÉ terminal known asCill Airne (or Killarney in English). www.sinfin.net/railways/stations/sta-gael-ireland.html

That bench will be used to look at a garden full of flowers looking at those seedlings.

"Daylight saving time was introduced by the Summer Time Act 1916 and implemented on 1 October 1916 as GMT plus one hour and Dublin Mean Time plus one hour. However, Dublin Mean Time (used by the railways) had a disparity of twenty-five minutes with Greenwich Mean Time, which meant that the Bangor Railway Station Clock was to be put back only thirty-five minutes instead of one hour. An additional complication was that the clocks in Belfast and Bangor were twenty-three minutes and thirty-nine seconds behind Greenwich Mean Time (not twenty-five minutes as in Dublin), so the final adjustment was thirty-six minutes and twenty-one seconds. The change to the time displayed on the Bangor Station Clock was not welcomed by commuters."

Here is something of interest - a similar angle photo Lawrence no. 4723, which does not appear in the NLI catalogue. The photo has a motor charabanc (?) which puts it towards the end of the possible date range. Spot the other differences ...
