Ulysses, Episode 8, Bloom was here: He crossed at Nassau street corner and stood before the window of Yeates and Son, pricing the fieldglasses. Or will I drop into old Harris's and have a chat with young Sinclair? Wellmannered fellow. Probably at his lunch. Must get those old glasses of mine set right. Goerz lenses six guineas. Germans making their way everywhere. Sell on easy terms to capture trade. Undercutting. Might chance on a pair in the railway lost property office. Astonishing the things people leave behind them in trains and cloakrooms. What do they be thinking about? Women too. Incredible. Last year travelling to Ennis had to pick up that farmer's daughter's bag and hand it to her at Limerick junction. Unclaimed money too. There's a little watch up there on the roof of the bank to test those glasses by.

In today's photo we see Yeates shop still advertising Race Glasses in the window, and further along, "old Harris's".

Streetview. The pillar box is still there.

Flickr seems to think this photo was taken on May 20th 2091. Perhaps Dublin will have been converted to a Joycean theme park by then.

Wow what a great old photo! A variety of styles, the gentleman leaning on his umbrella reminds me of the Duke of Edinburgh present day! :O)

Hamilton Long are still in business.

The same corner in Streetview

Barnardo (the furrier, and yes, original of Barnardos charity) is visible as J M B at #108, and they are still there.

The gentleman with the umbrella looks like the Duke of Edinburgh! Great photo!

I would like to add these to something. quite a record.
