    Per Wikipedia the trams to Sandymount were electrified in March 1901, earliest date. The trams stopped operating in 1940.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Those look like horse chestnut trees in flower in the background, so springtime.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In streetview, we can see that Batts and Murphys have been replaced by an ugly AIB. It looks more modern than the latest possible date here (trams). Edit: looking again, I think the bank just replaced Batt's. The distinctive 1st floor window of Murphy's is still there.

    Ryans Sandymount House pub was Ryans in this shot, but Fleming in the 1905ish French images.

    A google search suggests Fleming opened in 1893. He was here for the 1911 census.

    We were here before with O'Connor (pub is still Fleming):

    ' ... The effects of traffic far heavier and speedier than was ever contemplated by the original designer took their toll however. A number of the cross girders became badly warped and this caused the lowering of the road level in several places. These depressions were periodically filled and by the time of its demolition nearly 18 inches of stone had been placed on top of the buckle plates at the south end of the bridge. Under traffic of even a very light nature the bridge deck sagged and rose in an alarming manner and gave the impression of being in danger of imminent collapse. In the early 1930’s Professor Pierce Purcell, one of Ireland’s foremost Civil Engineers, was asked by Kerry County Council to investigate the problem of reconditioning or replacing the bridge. It was decided to replace the bridge.
    Early in 1932 the bridge was declared unsafe and closed to traffic....

    beachcomber australia I'm no engineer, but "nearly 18 inches of stone" on top of "the buckle plates" does not inspire confidence!
