Wow what a great old photo! A variety of styles, the gentleman leaning on his umbrella reminds me of the Duke of Edinburgh present day! :O)

Hamilton Long are still in business.

The same corner in Streetview

Barnardo (the furrier, and yes, original of Barnardos charity) is visible as J M B at #108, and they are still there.

The gentleman with the umbrella looks like the Duke of Edinburgh! Great photo!

Model of the Centaur-G Prime booster and the Ulysses probe it was originally slated to boost. After the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099), the liquid fueled Centaur-G and Centaur-G Prime boosters would not be used aboard any Space Shuttle flights, as the risks associated with a liquid-fueled payload were deemed to be unacceptable. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_(spacecraft)

This is the longer version of Shuttle Centaur, Centaur G. It was to be used by NASA for interplanetary probes like Ulysses (pictured).

On the 25" OSI Map the lower reservoir is already there, but the upper is "in construction. (You have to zoom right in to see them, though.)

Wikipedia article on the Vartry reservoirs. The lower one was completed between 1863-68, the upper in 1923. The engineer was Parke Neville, the Dublin City and Waterworks Engineer. Plus a 1906 Postcard of the Vartry Reservoir in Stillorgan that this fed into.

I'd guess from the shadows that it's looking more or less north but I don't see the sugarloaf.

Fantastic

derangedlemur I tried wandering around the reservoir on streetview, but eventually gave up. That said, this doesn't look too far off. The Sugarloaf is off to the right left.
