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

Pre-66 anyway. The tram is from Nelson Pillar to Terenure according to the sign on it.

The Portobello College building was built in 1807 and was originally a Hotel. archiseek.com/2010/1807-grand-canal-hotel-portobello-dubl... If we knew the story behind the baldacchino on the roof (missing from this photo) it might give a clue as to the date.
ccferrie said:
The baldacchino was an original feature as evidenced by this 1811 engraving www.flickr.com/photos/dublincitypubliclibraries/5736515136/ but must have been removed at some point and reinstated later.

What colour is that bus???
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley The greenest green ever seen!!
Niall McAuley said:
I remember the late 60s/early 70s, when the buses were cream over blue, like this one:

but I don't remember any petrol green buses like that one!

Niall McAuley Are you showing your age Niall? That was the good old CIE green we all grew up to love and admire! The two young lads in the pinstripe suit jackets is an interesting sight! Not likely to be school blazers as they tended to be solid colours but may be the remains of auld dacency in the form of Confirmation suits being worn out before they grew out if you know what I mean. Kids in 1959 could dress quite formally once they got to 14 or thereabouts. Portobello is just down the road from St. Mary's College and the lads may be from there but never with pin stripe blazers???

Niall McAuley And yet there it is, larger than life and twice as green! I wonder is there any way it was a tour bus, rather than a "normal" city bus?
