Hadden's Drapery, almost certainly Dungarvan

    Must have been a fairly new shop. The only Haddens in 1911 were a "Supt. Assurance Coy" and family. www.census.nationalarchives.ie

    There's one in Wexford though: www.census.nationalarchives.ie
    And there was one in Dungarvan in the fifties: snap.waterfordcoco.ie

    We've one in Down, two in Wexford, one in Carlow and one in Tyrone in 1911. What we need is a 1925 census.
  • derangedlemur said:
    "Shaws, founded in 1865 as a drapery shop in Co Laois by Henry Shaw, employs almost 1,000 people across its stores. In 1976 it acquired Haddens, which had shops in Carlow, Wexford and Dungarvan."

Demolition

    It was in the area of Kelly's Corner. From this page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portobello,_Dublin "Starting in the 1980s Kelly's Corner was re-developed. Old Camden Street and Charlotte Street disappeared and the ruined buildings there made way for the Camden Court Hotel. The north side of Harcourt road was developed, Stein's the opticians being the last to go in the first phase, and Gleeson's pub in the second."

    So we are in the vicinity of the "Bleeding Horse" pub, presumably? In the 1980's, you used to come along the South Circular road, turn left onto the first bit of Camden Street, turn right and double back onto the SCR via what I think was Charlotte Street, then go along the SCR and left again onto the very top of Harcourt Street........ This shows the scene today, g.co/maps/v6g5t - you now go along Charlotte Way to get to Harcourt Street!

    Irish251 Thanks a million! That's a great help... Think this is one of the first times that one of our photos depicts a street that just does not exist any more - not changed dramatically, but just completely obliterated!
