A wonderful capture of times past. And look - more horses (and a donkey, bottom left) than motor vehicles!

What's interesting in this excellent shot is the police or security presence? There are four outriders around that carriage, two more are going out of focus at the bottom and there are two an RIC?Policemen standing and walking between the tramrails. Some dignitary on his way someplace?

Swordscookie Must have been! Well spotted...

Look at the variety of modes of transport on display? Hansom cabs on the right with the hoods, soldiers/policemen on horseback, dignitary in landau, motor car in the distance, tram on the left, donkey and cart further left foreground, horse and drey left foreground, jaunting car on the left parked, and shanks mare all over the place!!!

A Model T. Ford !

beachcomber australia An early one! Are there a load of Ardees in the country? Why am I asking an Australian? :) The only one I know is Ardee in Co. Louth, and there's no way this young woman came all the way from there. Evidence that carts changed hands just like cars and motor bikes?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I have no idea, sorry. I was going by your own tags on the right --->

beachcomber australia Looking at the tags? Whatever next! As you were then... :)

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I've only ever heard of the county Louth Ardee...

Fantastic photo. I see a rabbit too!

They all look hungry for business. I'd bet you could wander in there and be unable to resist leaving without having first bought something. I'd imaging their necks would be on the line if any of them 'failed' to make a sale. Shop assistant work was tough back then whatever they were selling, so I understand.

I am wondering if they are two separate businesses sharing the same premises?

Wonderful
