    View from Jones Road looking West? Streetview Looks like it, that is Clonliffe Flour Mills at right per the 25" map. Binn's Bridge in the distance. The Flour mills are there on the 1930s Cassini map too. That site is now the Croke Park hotel, Croke Park itself is behind the cameraman to our right.

    I think that is the Royal Canal from the bridge at Russell St / Jones's Rd just beside Croke Park.

    IIRC, we heard of them before in Killarney. Yes, they built this house in the 1870s:
    Killarney House, Co. Kerry

    Clonliffe Flour Mill on right, the Royal Canal on left and a P&T linesman on top. There'll be no commuter service tonight, although there is a parallel line on the other side of Croker. The MGW line which follows the canal to Mullingar.

    That's Church Road Jct in Dublin, down in the North Wall yards area. The view is looking west, with the bridge of the Dublin-Belfast line on the horizon. As the signal on one of the gantries is in the 'off' position, the loco is coming towards O'Dea presumebly to shunt or take out of a goods train. The Brennan's shop is now an ordinary residence.

    The 'Joy' predates it by 2 years so! According to Wikipedia: Mountjoy was designed by the British military engineering officer, Captain Joshua Jebb, Royal Engineers and opened in 1850, based on the design of London's Pentonville Prison also designed by Jebb. Originally intended as the first stop for men sentenced to transportation, they would spend a period in separate confinement before being transferred to Spike Island and transported from there to Van Diemen's Land.
