  The entrance to the 1907 Irish International Exhibition, Ballsbridge. See archiseek.com/2012/1907-irish-international-exhibition-du... for a better copy of same image. Built on 52 acres that Lord Pembroke had promised to the Pembroke District Council for a public park, lying between the River Dodder, Morehampton Road and Clyde Road. The site later became Herbert Park. All that remains of the exhibition is the pond which was part of the water slide and one of the two bandstands, the other going to Bray.

  Suck Diesel My first instinct was Harcourt Street as well but that arch, which looks so elegant, is all wrong! Morning Mary will have to make adjustments.

  Swordscookie Looks like some palace from the days of the Raj, except for the heavy overcoats. There are much better versions of this image on internet than this one.
