    For a start ..........21st October 1805 was a good day for some.

    Noblett's sweet shop was around in 1916 - it was occupied by the rebels.
  • ccferrie said:
    According to this discussion forum Thom's directory has Nobletts there from 1922 through to 1956 and Laird's from 1922 through to 1941 (but not 1956) - presume these records aren't exhaustive though and they may have both been there earlier than that.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Laird's appears from another angle here:

    View from top of Nelson's Pillar, Sackville Street (O'Connell Street), Dublin

    O Mac Thank you! Which was, of course, the Battle of Trafalgar where Nelson died.
