Could it possibly be a Dog?

yep a dog that shaking off the pond water.

great image!

Is it this weir in the summer??

DannyM8 It's too similar for it not to be. I found a weir near Orwell Walk. goo.gl/maps/ESYnk Would that be it?

Is that a DOG I see?

www.google.ie/maps/@53.3118942,-6.274573,3a,75y,58.66h,92... After 1901, when the tram system was fully electrified, from horse power. Before 1911 when there were a total of 5,058 registered cars, buses and lorries in Ireland, a large proportion based in Dublin.

OSI 25" link at GeoHive (not that much has changed). The #15 tram tracks and overhead wires are the big change.

Fashion guesses? I am thinking 1910, max 20.

#108 at left says Heffernan, and here is John Heffernan in 1901 and 1911

Most unusual image of the Dodder and its water hazards. In my time I've kayaked down that but only when there was lots of rain for a week or two beforehand. The Dodder is one of the most exciting rivers for kayaking but rarely has enough of a flow.

The sawmill was a calico printing factory at the time of the 6 inch survey, so it would seem to be after that.

6-inch seems to have been 1837, so that doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know. 25-inch is 1911, also useless.

The two men remind me of Keaton and Chaplin. Mainly based on the hats.
