Tried to make the title of the film out on show but cant.

I think it's 'Monte Carlo', a 1930 Paramount film starring the actors you can see clearly on the sign. I can just about make the words out, as well as 'Ernst Lubitsch' underneath, who was the director.

Took me a while before I realised I was at the top of 'The Hill'.

Area known as Big Lamp

Could this have been taken from the flats known as "Todds Nook"?

Note the trolley bus wires. It took some skill by the trolley bus driver to negotiate this junction of Elswick Road and Westgate Road. A slight misjudgement and the trolley would become "de-wired"

AureliaB20GT Heard of the name but never known where it was. Cheers! [https://www.flickr.com/photos/pityarder] I was thinking the flats too - that or from scaffolding during their construction. It's hard enough driving a car through that junction never mind trying to keep wires joined..

good to see ( childhood memories)

Streetview

Marvellous - and to add to the architecture the once familiar street furniture of Dublin - a CIE 'circular' bus stop flap and a Stanton 6B concrete street lamp standard.

I wondered how Baggot Street got that name ... "Baggot Street (Irish: Sráid Bhagóid) is a street in Dublin, Ireland. It is named after Baggotrath, the manor granted to Robert Bagod in the 13th century. He built Baggotrath Castle, which was partly destroyed during the Battle of Rathmines and demolished in the early nineteenth century.The street was called Baggot Street in 1773. ... ... : Via en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baggot_Street

Walked/bused that route everyday for 5 years. (Office off Baggot St. Living northside). Bus stop still in same place. (Handy for junction with Pembroke St). 24 Baggot Street was (is?) a "holistic medical" centre. I wonder if the chap pictured is on his way for a session in a flotation tank? (Shadow is interesting. Did one of the Wiltshires perhaps capture their own elbows protruding from the base of a signpost?)
