  youtu.be/XW-ppGhxRbE - (0:34) - The cavalry left in 1888. Not a great deal of "horse evidence" around, so post 1888 ?

• naoisemarie said:

  You can see the bridge and that antique furniture shop! Wow, things haven't changed THAT much except for the fact that I don't think there are any more barges.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  naoisemarie Well, not trading barges anyway.

• vandillo said:

  If only it was barge 8B... I have a pic of it taken during the Rising in 1916, and am trying to track its movement since then. Ah well, this is a great pic all the same!

  Streetview

• Niall McAuley said:

  I see tramtracks, this line was electrified by 28 August 1899, but I can't tell if we should see the overhead wires or not.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Gas lights: The opening of the Pigeon House generating station in 1903 extended electric lighting to almost all major streets in the city centre including Rathmines. With the introduction of their electric lighting scheme in 1903, the Rathmines Urban District Council erected a selection of lamp standards to suit the lighting requirements of the street in question.

• O Mac said:

  Maybe they are pupils of the Jewish school that was around the corner on Broomfield Avenue.

  I'm having deja vu all over again - see the later street lamps -
