Wow!

Butt Bridge was replaced only in 1932, whereas this version was built in 1879. So not too much help.

No Loop Line Bridge, City of Dublin Junction Railway opened in 1891.

Great to see and note the vantage point details!

Wonderful! Dublin city in the rare old times.

sorry to kick this off on a sombre note - Times (London) deaths Dec 22nd 1941: ANDERSON Dec 19th 1941, at her residence Grace Dieu Manor, Waterford, SUSAN ALICE, daughter of the late T. W. ANDERSON, DL

All the hallmarks of privilege and wealth and yet a very handsome pair of pairs. Lovely photograph and an excellent composition.

From the NUIG site: "In the 1870s Thomas William Anderson of Grace Dieu Lodge, county Waterford, owned 836 acres in county Cork, 600 acres in county Waterford and 1,704 acres in county Kilkenny." and "This house is labelled on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s as Grace Dieu. In 1848 it was leased by James Anderson from the Carew estate and valued at almost £49. It is still extant and run as a retreat centre by a religious order."

This says that Susan Alice was the only daughter of TW, so who is the other Miss Anderson? A cousin?

In the 1901 census, Susan Anderson was 20, born in Kilkenny, and a scholar. Her father was 48, widowed, and listed his occupation as "Interest of Money". Nice one. By the 1911 census he was a magistrate and had remarried. Ellen Carew from Limerick, was the new Mrs. Anderson. Three years married. Susan Alice was still single.

The black Jersey with the silver fern emblem are of the All Blacks New Zealand rugby union team. The site saintsandheathens.wordpress.com/wallabies-rugby-jerseys/w... says that the Australian rugby union team (Wallabies) jersey for 1938 was 'gold with a green centre band' for a match against New Zealand. It does not list this jersey colours used for any other year. Matches between Australia and New Zealand were played in 1938 as follows 13 August 1938Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney 6 August 1938Exhibition Ground, Brisbane 23 July 1938Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney This photo is likely to be of one of these matches. The Houses in the background look to be typical of Queensland architecture of the time - elevated timber buildings. I therefore suggest that this is a photo of Australia v New Zealand dated 6th August 1938 at the exhibition grounds Brisbane.

Fantastic detective work Peter McCombe ! Thanks for sharing this info. We would have to agree with you on all accounts. It's likely the game is in Brisbane as George Jackman was a photographer for the Brisbane newspapers The Courier Mail and The Daily Mail from 1920 -1945.
