    Hi, Very interesting to see the 'knifeboard' arrangement for top deck passengers on the trams in both photographs. This arrangement was superceded by the 'Garden Seat' configuration where passengers face forward as in modern day buses etc. I think the change was gradual starting in the late 1870s early 1880s.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Leonard Bentley Thank you so much! Hadn't heard that term before, but will use it as a tag in future, or Garden Seat where applicable. This says that the term was first used in Punch on 15 May 1862...

    The rails seem to very wide apart compared with the later electric trams.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    blackpoolbeach Much wider! Do you remember this one of the woman dashing across the street at almost exactly the same spot on Patrick Street?
  • heady school said:
    If only they could bring these street lamps back, to replace the current, building site inspired monstrosities.

    Wystan The "troubles" typically refers to the time from the 1960s to 1990s.

    This photo [between ca. 1910 and ca. 1915], would have been taken in the run up to the 1916 Easter Rising.
  • Peter Brown said:
    "The Troubles" originally referred to the period 1919 to 1922 in Ireland, following on from the 1916 Rising. It began to be used for the Northern Ireland conflict in the 1970s.

    the 1913 lockout,a period of street riots,and police brutality in dublin .may be the answer for this scene,as police escorts to coal deliveries and the trams etc' were commonplace, multitext.ucc.ie/d/Dublin_1913Strike_and_Lockout

    This looks like a car on the Hill of Howth tramway:

    Sutton to the Hill of Howth, which ran from 1901 to 1959.
