The search for the perfect pint is like unto the quest for the Holy Grail

    Google Lens has zilch. Is that another man inside looking out under the 'E' of Doyle? Stone arches across the road reflected in the windows ...
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It's very 'Peaky Blinders' ...
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Somewhere in Dublin, I think, as the top of the poster in the window looks very much like one of these Theatre Royal posters...
  • Swordscookie said:
    Some (many) people navigate their way around Dublin using pubs as landmarks. As a Teetotaler I always struggle with such directions but I can confirm that the pub in question is not the one that gave it's name to Doyle's Corner in Phibsboro.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    There are many Doyle entries in the 1911 Census that give their occupation as Publican and some Wine and Spirit Merchants etc., which might help the search?

    A quick map check suggests it is still there, part of the Holy Ghost complex

    AKA ‘Kimmage Manor’
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The NIAH says: Detached L-plan Tudor Revival-style country house, c.1890, comprising three-bay two-storey with attic entrance block having central breakfront, and multiple-bay three-storey section to north. Now in use as missionary college.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    “Kimmage Manor was originally called Kimmage House. Whereas the house itself is situated in the townland of Kimmage, the property on which it stands straddles the Poddle, reaching into the adjacent townland of Perrystown. Known locally as ‘The Manor’, the building was developed from an existing ‘mansion house’, described in the deeds of conveyance when Sir Frederick Shaw, (1799-1876), purchased the lease of the property, which was to become his home from 1829 until he died. It was ‘The House’ of his Crumlin estate. Gardens and other buildings were included in the sale. Shaw tasked Architects Richard and William Morrison with reinventing the house, resulting in its eventual “unique Tudor revival style with triangular gables, spiral turrets and tall chimneys.”

EH Begbie looking very Kiplinesque?

    “Edward Harold Begbie (1871 – 8 October 1929), was an English journalist and the author of nearly 50 books and poems. Besides studies of the Christian religion, he wrote numerous other books, including political satire, comedy, fiction, science fiction, plays and poetry.”

    “ “I, Robert Cleaver, (No.10515), a private in the 1st Cheshire Regiment, of his Majesty’s Army, make oath and say as follows: That I personally was at Mons and saw the vision of angels with my own eyes – Robert Cleaver.”

    The Spiritualist magazine Light, described this as “striking confirmation.” Harold Begbie printed Private Cleaver’s story as a factual account alongside others in his On the Side of the Angels (1915)”

    Could the photographer be the same as the one credited with his Wikipedia photo? The collar and Dickie bow look like they could be the same day.

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Oretani Wildlife (Mike Grimes) Certainly looks possible, thanks. I'll put "possibly Walter Stoneman", just to be cautious. And 1916? for the date.

    Flickr is sometimes amazing!
    Harold Begbie wrote a parody "The Political Struwwelpeter" (1898)
