    It has changed so much, and yet it has not changed at all.
  • Swordscookie said:
    To start with Carlisle/O'Connell Bridge was widened between 1877 and 1880 so this predates the widening. Secondly there's no sign of big Dan and most of the sculpture of the Street. I'd better get Googling or whatever. The foundation stone to Dan's monument was laid in 1864 but it was not completed unveiled until 1882. I can't see any sign of a foundation stone here.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Construction of O'Connell Bridge started in 1877 (a big job), and the first tramline from the pillar to Drumcondra opened in 1877 too. So, 1877 at the latest.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Excellent! So before 1877, but also before 1864 as Swordscookie says: "I can't see any sign of a foundation stone here" ?? Earliest possible is 1860 for this series of photos...

    William Russell & Co. were at no. 5 Lower Sackville-Street, near Carlisle-bridge as early as Tuesday, 22 April 1851 as they have an advertisement in that day's Freeman's Journal declaring a reduction in the duty on coffee:
    The Finest Mocha is now 1s. 6d. per pound. Costa Rica, Rio Janeiro, and fine Jamaice, 1s. 4d. per pound Demerara, Ceylon, and other imports, 8d., 10d., 1s., and 1s. 2d. per pound.
    And Bewley & Evans were there too from at least November 1854 (also from Freeman's Journal).

  • Tammy said:
    is it me or does the river seem high? Also, can anyone verify if the street lanterns on the bridge are the same or have they been replaced with replica's?

    Tammy According to this interesting Dublin street lighting site, the gasoliers were "restored" around 1998-2003 - www.archiseek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=3968
  • ccferrie said:
    this was before the bridge was widened so the lamps on this side may have been changed.

    beachcomber australia Re your note, Walter Osborne's 1889 painting shows a bookseller near the same spot (just a little further to the left where the hand-cart is). See comments here -

    Changes since Bona Fide Travellers: The DBC. The tall electric lights (1892 until 1903-1910 sometime). Where is the Gunpowder office signage gone? Railings around the O'Connell monument. Electric trams. Straw hats! Light coloured clothes. Ladies on bikes.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    And as DannyM8 spotted, a dust cart spraying the street! We've never captured one of those in action before...
  • DannyM8 said:
    Summer I would think, the few parasols are for the sun rather than the rain. Strong shadows - someone will be able to tell the date and time of day!
  • beachcomber australia said:
    DannyM8 Someone thinks 14:43 (?) from the clock (see note). Not 100% sure.
