    When loitering alongside the Liffey, You might be aware of a whiffy. Near a Volkswagen car There's a leaky pissoir. Sure the footprints will dry in a jiffy.

    I remember the Cabinetti in Naples Railway Station back in 1977. There was a hole in the floor. 2 chains hung from the roof with hoops on the end. It was quite a trick to get your feet into those hoops!

    Great picture. If memory serves, I think the small bridge in the middle was able to swing to allow slightly taller boats and barges further up the river.

    This is after 1882 when the widened and renamed ( Carlisle bridge) O'Connell Bridge was opened. The trams were fully electrified by 1901.

    I see the loopline bridge, they are on the quays at the Custom House in Dublin. Streetview of the steps. The date range is off - the Clarecastle was built in 1914 and bought by Gunness in 1915 : Clyde ships page. Date is before 1953 when the Clarecastle was sold again.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    All the boys are wearing shoes, which also suggests a later date range. I think some of them are fishing with bits of string. They have a big empty tin can to put their catch into.

    Flickr is sometimes amazing and the NLI is always amazing - we have visited those steps before -

    A wonderful looking image.

    It looks like the boys are Crabbing. A ball of string or a sock is the bait on a line.
