    Well, 1895 onwards. Loco looks like the ‘Bat’, Class E no. 110, from 1891 Edit: This loco ended its days on the Waterford to Tramore line up to 1961. In service for 70 years. They don’t make them like that anymore!

    Station opened 1895. Looks very fresh here, lime on the red brick, zero weeds in the track bed.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In 1901, Robert John Boag was stationmaster, but he was only 27. I think the gent in the bowler is master here and twice that age. Or maybe the man next to him in the fanciest uniform is Boag, and Mr. Bowler Hat is a boss from the railway company?

    There are several pics. In L_IMP_3526 there is a torn poster advertising FAIRS AUGUST, and a noticeboard marked GLASGOW AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY??
  • Niall McAuley said:
    L_IMP_3528 still has neat stacks of red bricks and roof tiles from construction of the station. {EDIT see below, that is one is Clifden, not Achill]

    I hate to be pedantic but The Harcourt Station was NOT & is NOT in Rathmines. It is city centre of Dublin. The description is (totally) inaccurate I'm afraid! There is NO mention of Rathmines in your tags, so I think it's safe to deduce that Harcourt Street /Hatch Street is NOT in Rathmines!

    Who is responsible for the administration of the Photos uploaded on to FLICKR as in names, not a department on behalf of the 'National Archives' please???
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ClickKen04 You're not being pedantic, you're perfectly correct! Have you never noticed that Flickr Maps leave a lot to be desired about locations, e.g. when I place photos on the National Library in Kildare Street, it insists on saying Ballsbridge, I think, even though that's a good mile away from Kildare Street... I've now changed Rathmines to the broader "Dublin". Sorry if "Rathmines" was disorienting...

    ClickKen04 My name is Carol. I manage the account, upload photos, etc. And we're not the National Archives of Ireland - this photostream is the National Library of Ireland on the Commons.

    A man interupted in his work, lol. Nice shot and a wry smile. Full of character.

    And no windeyuppey telephone in sight! Just a dial phone in solid black bakelite!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Or is that a bottle of ink?
  • Swordscookie said:
    No Niall, I don't think that it is Irel! Their bottles were rectangular whereas that appears to be octagonal. If I remember my bottles right that was a bottle used for Goodalls Salad Cream or perhaps Goodalls Tomato Kechup, the shape of the bottle is right as is the label. I suspect that Mr. McCollins (never heard of that surname before) had something else in it such as tea or coffee?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I wonder if he was named Robert, or maybe William?
