    www.google.ie/maps/@53.3118942,-6.274573,3a,75y,58.66h,92... After 1901, when the tram system was fully electrified, from horse power. Before 1911 when there were a total of 5,058 registered cars, buses and lorries in Ireland, a large proportion based in Dublin.

    OSI 25" link at GeoHive (not that much has changed). The #15 tram tracks and overhead wires are the big change.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Fashion guesses? I am thinking 1910, max 20.

    There's a load of trees in the way of getting the same angle on streetview. www.google.ie/maps/@53.3585378,-6.2624228,3a,75y,63.04h,8...

    Taken from the Eccles Street side looking down towards the Dorset St. Gardiner Street junction. Super detail!

    I see one small boy with the classic dropped shoulders and slow walk for "Go out and get a pint of milk"

    An educated guess - it is March 1913. There is a 'similar item' not too far away with heaps of newspaper billboards - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000557501 - which talk of the "Balkan War" and a whole lot of local news which may narrow down the date to a particular day. First Balkan War started in October 1912 and lasted to May 1913 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_Wars#First_Balkan_War . And Easter Sunday (see note about 'Easter Cards') was March 23rd in 1913. Or not ? ... ...

    beachcomber australia Well, it is consistent with march 1913, but i don't think there is any reason to suppose it is the same date as the other one just because thay are nearby...

King's Cross Reconstruction Work

from The National Archives UK

  • mikeyashworth said:
    Hmm, I'm minded to think this may well be earlier - the large scale works to reconstruct the Circle/H&C/Met platforms here was completed in c1936/8 and I suspect this may show that work. Also - trams not trolleybuses as you'd have found post-war. I'll check.
  • JB (KK 69521) said:
    I agree - the buses suggest mid to late 30s, and tram routes round Kings Cross were converted to trolleybus operation in 1938.
