    Junction of Kennedy Quay and Victoria Road I'd suggest, with the old footbridge over the Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway in the distance and Marina Mills (now cut down to a single storey facade) to the left - Streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@51.8983713,-8.4608333,3a,75y,103.19h,...

    Depending on when this was taken my own father could have been among those being escorted to the ship! He was arrested after the siege of the Strand Barracks in Limerick, imprisoned there for a while, transferred from there to Cork and thence to Dublin before ending up in Gormanstown in Co. Meath!

    Model T Ford easily recognisable on the right; what is the one-eyed car on the left?

    There seems to be no convenient streetview / riverview, so here is Google Maps 3D. I think Mr O'Connor was near that footbridge ...

    The view from the bridge in the photo. I wonder what the footbridge looked like back then.

    That row of shops with named proprietors may help date it, on Sullivan's Quay. No D. Foley or Foley Bootmaker in the 1921 Guy's. No John Shea either, either. Nor in 1935.

    Ah, they are all in the 1897.

    Dominick Foley, Bootmaker
    Michael McCarthy, Shopkr
    John Shea, Shopkeeper
    J Anderson, Shopkeeper

    By 1903, Shea is gone and #28 is Edward Phillon

    So right at the start of the date range.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Back in 1891, McCarthy, Shea and Anderson are all here, but Foley's is Jordan J, Hairdresser

    Jordan is still there in 1893.

This is so busy I need a cup of Liptons tea!

    Great picture. If memory serves, I think the small bridge in the middle was able to swing to allow slightly taller boats and barges further up the river.

    This is after 1882 when the widened and renamed ( Carlisle bridge) O'Connell Bridge was opened. The trams were fully electrified by 1901.

    Great to see masted ships opposite Customs House!
