From a Google Book source..."Post-Famine Ireland: Social Structure: Ireland As It Really Was" "John O Neill's bicycle factory in Dublin was started in 1894 originally assembling the bicycles but not manufacturing all the parts ( Weekly Irish Times April 5th 1913)" I don't have access to the newpaper archives to look that up!

when the 115ft spire of st johns was erected it was the 4th tallest structure in Australia! st james and port arthur church spires were higher + the chimney at canterbury mills.

The photo was taken from the middle of John Street. The cross street in the photo is Argyle Street, now the main street. The building on the right, closer to the road, is pretty much the same. The nice, wide road remains, too!
