This could be any of 3 gates - the Grafton St, Merrion Row and Leeson St. corners. The only surviving one is at Leeson St. (Grafton St. now has Fusilier's Arch, and Merrion Row was altered to stick in the Robert Emmet statue.) Streetview.
Sharon Corbet said:
The notes on the photo in the NLI mention the following: "Boat decorated with garlands etc. as part of an annual fund-raising flag day held by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in Dublin and across the U.K."
Niall McAuley said:
Sharon Corbet Robert Emmet? This is Tonehenge! And I think this is the Merrion Row corner, based on the position of that tram wire pole and squinting at the OSI map.

Thanks Sharon Corbet - I guess we should pay more attention to our own notes :)

Sharon Corbet The tram pole would narrow it down to Merrion Row or Grafton St corner, 25" OSI Stephens Green

Dun Laoghaire or Salthill perhaps? Very early for the electric lighting. Bray, even? No, that 4 storey terrace looks taller then Bray.

Congratulation for your beautiful Album.
Niall McAuley said:
Sun angle suggests the terrace may be facing North to the sea?
Niall McAuley said:
Like Margate, for example.

I found a swan necked electric light like that on the parade at St. Leonards-on-Sea

I dunno about an Ian Fleming connection, but James Joyce (no surprise I guess) mentions Moneypeny Corner in his Ulysses:
Five tallwhitehatted sandwichmen between Monypeny's corner and the slab where Wolfe Tone's statue was not, eeled themselves turning H. E. L. Y.'S and plodded back as they had come.
No walking advertisements or sandwich-board wearers to see here however. Although some of the view down South King Street is now (as per the obligatory street view) partially obscured by one of those "we'll pay for the bikes if you give us ad space" advertising hoardings.

I checked the 1901 Thoms Directory, and R.W. Monypeny is listed at 52 & 53 Grafton Street as a "designer and embroiderer of art needlework, and white wood depot". [White wood goods, anybody?]. Monypeny lived at 13 Anneley Park, Rathmines. Robert Forbes at 54 Grafton Street is described as a "photographic artist". And at 54/55 are our old friends Kapp and Peterson (Alfred and Charles respectively). Down South King Street, before the Gaiety Theatre is the Horse Shoe Bar at no. 51 - proprietor Francis Pryor.

I remember that corner, about thirty years later. Is it still deja vu if it is an earlier view of something you remember? -
beachcomber australia said:
Same day? See poster in Moneypeny's window and position of Forbes' blinds - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000168731 Love these J. J. Clarke candid photos. Is she preggers, or is that a 'bird in her birdcage' ? ;-)
