    just wonderful! would love to see a modern day shot of the same view. Much has changed for sure!
  • Swordscookie said:
    I reckon it was a laundry van with those baskets? I agree with Tammybeck it would be great to try and recreate it. I'm out on the northside and can't get past immigration.
  • plaisanter~ said:
    I’m thinking the van would transport anything you needed to have moved, maybe even people.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Well, we could try to get authorisation for you to come Southside! And laundry is a great idea.

    Tammy Not changed as much as you'd think! Here's recent Street View...

    Your bang on the money, its Fredrick street north, right outside the entrance of the garden of remembrance today. One of the buildings has a distinct archway on the entrance and the wall surface is different to all the others in the row. This building is still the same today. :) maps.google.ie/maps?q=frederick+street+dublin&hl=en&a...

    PS. I'm a big fan of the collection. Is this collection displayed anywhere I can view them? and can copies be obtained? I've come across a few buildings that have some significance with my family and it would be nice to have a copy. Thanks. :)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Rihslw alw Excellent! Thanks for that - have amended location on the map...

Boat race, Dodder River, Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin

    It looks like the Liffey at Islandbridge to me but I cannot account for all the buildings in the background. Some look like part of the Memorial Gardens and the spire looks a bit like one in Kilmainham/Inchicore but those on the left do not rhyme!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Swordscookie Agreed - that spire looks like St. Judes. Looking at the OSI map, none of the buildings or houses near that spire survive - even the rest of the church is gone.

    Congratulation for your beautiful Album.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The Irish Times of June 12th, 1954 refers to the previous day (the 11th) as being the Opening Day of the Dublin University (i.e. Trinity) Regatta at Islandbridge.

    The photographer is perhaps at the waterside in the Garda Boat Club, where Google's aerial view caught a crew taking to the water in a similar craft.
