  Looks like the back of a barracks to me...

  Well they are going loaded for Bear in any event. The Lee Enfield rifles are standard issue but the Lewis Light Machine Gun would be for a mini battle.

• Suck Diesel said:

  More WW1, I think?

  There is a note that says;Full caption reads: "The Royal Irish Constabulary on their last 'inspection parade' in one of the city police barracks. Their place is now taken by the civic guard manned and officered by Irishmen"..
  
  The photos around it seem to be Cork-ish as well, with the usual caveat that I don't know if the collection is ordered in any way.

  I suggest the yard behind Union Quay Garda station, Cork. Vehicle garages at the rere. britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/XAW040412
  The cameraman is stood where the car is.
