    It seems to be a popular point for taking pictures:

    Dublin – Sackville Street (now O'Connell Street) around 1900

    This one I found in a book. The tram tracks are a bit different.

    Surprisingly, the "Gun Powder Office" survived the Rising without being shelled or blown up by its own contents getting too hot. ;-) By 1916 the "Kelly's Fishing Tackle Manufactory" on the lower signage had become "M. Kelly & Sons Fishing Tackle", and was moved up to top billing on the wall, while the Gun Powder Office lettering got smaller and lower-down on the building.

    What a super shot! There is so much going on here you could stare at it for ever and find new things all the time. The jewellers on the corner of Eden Quay "Hopkins and Hopkins late of Law and Sons were there right up to the mid '70's at least. See all the dung on the street (great for roses) and the man pushing the handcart with the milk churn? Brilliant!

    This tenement may have long gone however the Buccleuch and Greyfriars Free Church of Scotland is still standing today - it is visible on the left edge of the photograph.

    What a fabulous, atmospheric street shot. I must admit I've never heard of a 'book factory' before - I learn something new every day!
  • Mike said:
    Great details!!
  • Swordscookie said:
    Wonderful street photography and captures the essence of the period beautifully! You could spend hours poring over this and admiring the details. The noise level on the street during rush hour must have been considerable with the steel tyres on the wheels and those cobbles to rattle over. "I'd like a room at the back please sir???" Is that a soldier at the rere of the tram? He looks a lot more military than transport company in that uniform, quite smart really.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Staring and staring, but can't make up my mind. Uniform very military-ish, but is he wearing a small satchel-type thingy for the money (under his right hand)?? Need tram company expert, and I bet there's one out there somewhere!
