Is that Manors Station at the bottom right of the photo? There's even less of it now if I remember right.

Its hard to believe how big a part of the transport scene it was, I think part of it was used for a couple of scenes in 'Get Carter' . I need to get up to Newcastle again, I haven't visited for a while.

Trams passing here would have been 9 and 10 to Phoenix Park and 19 and 20 to Glasnevin. According to wikipedia, the first of those electrified was #9, 22 November 1898.

Here are messrs Henry Lenahan and Patrick O'Neill in the 1901 census

While we're in the census, here is John Joseph Clarke, today's photographer, in 1901.

Niall McAuley Niall, I'm only popping in for a moment - will be back later. Would you mind putting that census link under the photo of J.J. himself, if it is he? (I know, I know, what did my last slave die of? :)

Another great photo. I've always wondered if the land and area where the new Eldon Square was built on was poor quality? Derelic housing, slums etc? I ask because how they poured concrete over the land was very dramatic! The original Eldon Square which was left alone is a lovely little haven and it would've been a shame if similar structures and land was decimated in the name of shopping..

amazing seeing the city you've grown up in from years past, many thanks, great work and very important too

Many thanks for your comments. I have to admit that this is one of my favourite aerial images - the view seems very familiar but when you look closely you can see so many changes.
