    Interesting life (1883 - 1950) - www.theirishstory.com/2012/02/03/the-curious-career-of-he... "There can be few Irish people who lived quite such an interesting life during these years. From Unionism to the leadership of Sinn Féin and back to Unionism again. From the far-right of the British aristocracy to flirting with European fascism. Simultaneously writing religious tracts and pornographic literature under different pen names (according to his son) all the while proclaiming himself to be a devout Roman Catholic, while keeping several mistresses on the go. Pim can be accused of many things but he was certainly never dull."

    This is the original site of Alexandra College in a (to me at least) almost unrecognisable Earlsfort Terrace.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Streetview. There's another photo with a slightly different view in which what's now the NCH is a bit more recognisable.

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    From Sharon Corbet Link. The school was founded in 1866 and takes its name from Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the school's patron. The school colours, red and white, were adopted from the Danish flag in her honour. Alexandra College was founded by Anne Jellicoe, a Quaker educationist, in the name of furthering women's education. Under Anne Jellicoe, the school grew from a small establishment focused on providing a governess-style education to Irish Protestant ladies into a pioneering force for women's rights and education, providing an education to women equivalent to that available in boys' schools, with a grounding in mathematics, history, classics and philosophy. As Alexandra settled into its role, Anne Jellicoe was convinced that a major obstacle to the liberal education of women was their exclusion from the university campus. She passionately believed that until women were admitted to Trinity College Dublin (founded in 1592), the voice of women would not commonly be heard in politics, literature or in academic debate.

    C. 1910: I hadn't realised the defilement of our built heritage with pebbledash had set in that long ago.

    Signs on doorway to left of car read BSA Bicycles.
    According to Wikipedia, BSA made bicycles from 1880 to 1887, and then again from 1908 onwards. So given the car there, this would be after 1908.
