    Nice period image, the building right behind the armoured car is Mountjoy Garda Station on the Nth Circular Road, Phibsboro, Dublin

    I think the rectangular white sign with a round emblem on it is a Labour Exchange sign like the one below:

    Just down teh street, there apears to be a road block or barricade across the street, to the left here as you look down is the turning for Glengarrif Parade, so you are spot on

    I hope you don't mind, I just reduced the contrast a bit, so you can see more detail. This was a childhood walk. Lovely description, by the way.

    The 'Joy' predates it by 2 years so! According to Wikipedia: Mountjoy was designed by the British military engineering officer, Captain Joshua Jebb, Royal Engineers and opened in 1850, based on the design of London's Pentonville Prison also designed by Jebb. Originally intended as the first stop for men sentenced to transportation, they would spend a period in separate confinement before being transferred to Spike Island and transported from there to Van Diemen's Land.

    Stu, you have Badges for all Occasions! That is such a beautiful Cumann na mBan brooch - where'd you get it? Story behind it?
  • Stuart said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Hi. This nice lady kindly posed for the photo and was dressed in an original Cumann na mBan uniform complete with insignia, holster and revolver (only the revolver was a replica, everything else was original). She also allowed me to take close-up pics of the badges. I can confirm that the above badge is a genuine original going by the style and details. Regret to say this badge is not my own, an original would cost anything upwards of €150 - if you can find one for sale! Buyers beware, there are moderns copies of this badge about of varying quality.

    A relative of my mother was in the Cumann na mBan, I must show her this photo!
