• Dave Dunne Photo said:

  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.

• indian59 said:

  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

• Niall McAuley said:

  This looks like a car on the Hill of Howth tramway:
  
  , which ran from 1901 to 1959.

  Roundtown or Terenure as it's called today.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  O Mac Roundtown because of that roundy configuration at the 'V' junction?

• O Mac said:

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons One would assume so! It's a pity little remains. In this Google Satellite view the only evidence is a curved car park boundary wall and the curved roof of one house on west side.

• DannyM8 said:

  Remember this?

• beachcomber australia said:

  Roundtown - " It takes its name from a circle of cottages near the cross roads, branching from Harold's-cross and Rathgar. " - roots.swilson.info/towns1848/roundtown.html . Fascinating how previous buildings leave their imprint on subsequent development, only seen in satellite photos. Like Roman roads in England.

  Possibly the 1911 dock strike?

• Blushing Haircut said:

  what an amazing shot. I would be nervous getting in front of that scene with a digital camera -- that photographer sure was a brave one.

• br@mbly said:

  Number 8 bus from Mile end via Bank, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square. I think this might be somewhere round the Aldwych as there's a theatre on the right. Sadly, though it does still go past Bank, the Number 8 no longer runs this route.

  Check out the fingerprint on the policeman's trousers

• br@mbly said:

  Well spotted!
