    My grandfather was an inspector on the trams, but I have a feeling he started out as a conductor. A bit of a stretch, but it might even be him centre frame. Great photo.

    In the foreground are white lines painted on the cobblestones, or they could be white stones set into the road. Is this a first for these old NLI photos?

    Couldn't find any mention of the name Retz in the census for 1901 or 1911, but have found the phone number for George Retz, Pork Butcher, in the 1913 phone directory.

    Something interesting is happening out of frame on the right.

    I was going to suggest that it was during the hunger strike by Terence McSwiney but that was in 1920. There were other hunger strikes but of course you had Barrett, O'Connor, McKelvey and Mellowes executed in November 1922? Could it have been a vigil for them? It looks not unlike Government buildings today but why do you think that it is not London???

    Swordscookie Is it very unscientific and unprofessional to say "just a feeling"??

    I'd like to suggest that this was in fact taken on Prince's Street North, in Dublin.......(that's the one that goes down by the side of the GPO on the way into what is now the entrance to Arnott's multi-storey car park). The pillars look the same but there aren't as many of them nowadays, perhaps a by-product of the extensive damage caused to the building?

    I'm in two minds. The heavy showing of patriotic symbols (flags in hand, harp pins on lapels, etc) make me think this is in the UK somewhere. I know this sounds a bit backwards, but I don't think that a crowd in Ireland would've felt the need to wear their colours quite so loudly. On the other-hand, if this was taken during the Civil War, then it's probably a vigil for Anti-treaty hungerstrikers. Possibly outside a prison. Maybe Mountjoy if it's for one/other of the MacSwiney sisters.
