    Looking East along North Earl Street. 25" map Streetview.

    Dates: After tram electrification, 1898 Before this was all destroyed in 1916. Reverse view of destruction
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I note a swan necked light (these arrived with the tram electrification) which does not have the earliest globe with wire cage, suggesting nearer 1916 then 1900.

    Adverts for the Pioneer Teeth Institute appeared in the Dublin Evening Mail in July and August 1907. They were giving away absolutely free a few sets of teeth to the deserving poor.

    Brian Mulligan Perfect, isn't it? An Anglia, do you think?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Wendy: Still goes to Dalkey. The no. 8 will never die.
  • Colin said:
    That was a Leyland Atlantean demonstrator vehicle, fitted with a Metro-Cammell-Weymann (MCW) body. It went on to serve with four different operators including Lough Swilly. Sadly, although preserved at one stage, it was later scrapped. I'd suggest that the picture was in fact taken outside CIE HQ on O'Connell Street, and the gentlemen shown were almost certainly top brass of the company at that time, evaluating the vehicle. But it was another 7 years before the large batch of what eventually became 640 Atlanteans started to arrive into Dublin and elsewhere in Ireland.

    Just to th eright of the lady crossing the street is an unusually wide horse drawn cart. Any idea if it was a special piece of equipment?

    Micheál Cattigan Maybe just the humvee of its day.
