    Oddly enough, we have been there before -

    Architecture of Dublin I think you are dead right with the Northumberland Road/Haddington Road junction. So that is a #4 tram to Sandymount via Bath Avenue, which is why it is not tall, it has to go under the low bridge where the mainline railway crosses Bath Avenue.

    Possible dates:
    Monday 20th June - the Papal Legate arrives in Dun Laoghaire and travels into Dublin.
    Tuesday 21st - a garden party at Blackrock College

    I think this is the 20th.

    Trams that moved by themselves must have been a wonder....especially to the horse.

    The fella with the umbrella is about to get an electric shock from the overhead wires! Is this the right corner? Streetview - goo.gl/maps/PaMsBMMSzLXgt4g99

    beachcomber australia That corner matches the tramtracks shown on the 25" map
  • O Mac said:
    The horse tram is on the wrong side of the road. Unless it's a rear hoof drive tram.

Step out of the car please, Sir

    Who was manning the road block, I wonder? British or Irish soldiers? They are wearing Pattern 1914 leather webbing, that integrated the Pattern 1908 canvas webbing during the Great War. They are also carrying extra cloth cartridge bandoliers for fast reloading. Leather Pattern 1914 webbing was withdrawn by the Britsih Military in 1921, but no doubt it remained in service longer in other militaries that used Britsh equipment. Here's an interesting website about webbing www.karkeeweb.com/1914main.html

    In this 1919 photo, taken in Germany, my great grandfather (to the right) is wearing a Pattern 1908 canvas webbing belt, while his friend to the left has a pattern 1914 leather one. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrick_castelli/5922054314/]
  • Patrick Castelli said:
    I just saw the date the photo was taken on, so these must be British soldiers, and as all canvas Pattern 1908 webbing was reserved for front line troops, that explains the use of leather Pattern 1914!

    Patrick Castelli Sorry, Patrick, didn't get to this quickly enough, but sure you answered your own question without me! :) However, it's an interesting point, and made me return to the description above. I had put in "British soldiers", but have now amended it to "British ARMY soldiers". Those individual men could have been Irish, English, Welsh or Scottish...
  • Patrick Castelli said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons True, I was wondering that myself, they might even have belonged to locally recruited Irish regiments. Even if I suspect that the British War Office made sure all Irish soldiers were stationed and trained away from Ireland...for obvious reasons!
