    is it me or does the river seem high? Also, can anyone verify if the street lanterns on the bridge are the same or have they been replaced with replica's?

    Tammy According to this interesting Dublin street lighting site, the gasoliers were "restored" around 1998-2003 - www.archiseek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=3968
  • ccferrie said:
    this was before the bridge was widened so the lamps on this side may have been changed.

    beachcomber australia Re your note, Walter Osborne's 1889 painting shows a bookseller near the same spot (just a little further to the left where the hand-cart is). See comments here -

    Fantastic shopfront!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    If the original moulding and ironwork has been preserved, it should be possible to find the exact address/location of this shop using Google Maps. I've very loosely placed it along the Quays in Waterford... (that's what's known in the trade as an unsubtle hint!)

    LNWR Mail train at Euston c1900


    It's 1395 Archimedes, a Webb Dreadnought class divided drive compound. Note the large cylinder-head cover above the buffer beam.

    She was built at Crewe in 1886 and scrapped in 1904.

    Info from John Whitaker abpr

    Handsome engines but prone to slipping. You can't see it in the
    picture but these were actually 2-2-2-0 not 2-4-0. The drivers were
    uncoupled. If one pair of drivers slipped it lost that one's share of
    adhesive weight and the other pair slipped almost immediately.

    Thanks to the knowledgeable folk at alt.binaries.pictures.rail

    I think this is dated 1926, and is probably taken during the General Strike. It looks like it says 5/4/26, which makes it the 4th May 1926, second day of the strike.
  • Alan Slingsby said:
    Coach behind engine has "Manchester" sign on it. so it's probably Euston station
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks all, for your research and comments. We will add the date and station information to the data and reload the description.
