The one in Co. Dublin. Apparently although it's now on Main Street (Streetview) it has moved around a bit: "In 1865 there was a huge controversy over whether or not the cross should be removed completely. Instead the cross was moved and a new base was built for it. Having been at a few locations, the cross is now on Main Street. The present day cross is smaller with parts having been removed from it."

That's a milestone beside it giving distances to Dublin and Kingstown (1 7/8 miles? Sounds about right.)

25" OSI Map showing Market Cross and M.S. for milestone, which probably is the position of the cross in the photo above, and definitely this Lawrence collection shot.
Niall McAuley said:
Sharon Corbet The modern Central Café is at #42, which confirms that the cross in this shot is in the position marked in the OSI 25". Temple Road has been widened since, and the shops labelled Magrath as well as Marsden in the Lawrence and this Mason from a different date are gone now.

Wondering if that grocer at no. 2 might be Robert Ward? Shaking fist at placement of gas lamp!

O Mac By George, I think you've got it! Did it look familiar to you straight away? Location Identified tag added - thank you.

I saw those spires from the top of a 7A for eight years."The foundation stone of the present parish church was laid on the feast of the birth of St. John the Baptist, 24th June 1842 by Fr. Theobald Matthew OFM Cap., on a site donated by Lord Cloncurry (Valentine Lawless). It was opened for the use on 14th September 1845"

Beaten to it! The church tower is quite distinctive. No tram-tracks, so it's before 1879.
