man leans against wall outside cycle repair shop, another Flann O'Brien half truth. the butchers animal display is fabulous, I remember as a child making straw castles from the wood shaving on the floor, shouting up under the cattle and pig carcasses, pulling the ligaments on chicken feet to make the toes work ; Tescos is not such fun, aye we knew how to get around the boredom then 😉

I had a look at the 1901 census for Greville Street to find that ALL of the premises on both sides were owned by Lord Greville!!
Who pays the Ferryman?

Google van Tootle ?? - goo.gl/maps/ti0gV - the house with the white chimney behind and below. Best seen from the other side of the footbridge which was presumably built to replace the ferry.

It was December 1806 before the canal reached Mullingar..................Passengers travelling between Dublin and Mullingar in 1807 were charged 12/6d. for first class and 7/7d. for second class. The duration of the journey was twelve hours. Initially there were two sailings each day in each direction. www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/environment-geography... I would have thought that twelve hours was a good deal.

Nowhere near this end of the canal, but I liked this report in Freeman's Journal on August 18th 1843
CAUTION TO BATHERS Between five and six o'clock yesterday evening, an hour in which the locality is much frequented by the public, two soldiers of the 72nd Highlanders proceeded to bathe in the Royal Canal, Blacquiere Bridge, Circular-road, to the great annoyance of numerous passengers. Mr. Falkner, of Mount Falkner, whose house is next to the place, promptly and most properly at once interfered, and gave the outragers of common decency in custody to the police.
Thank goodness for Mr Falkner. -

Niall McAuley "1 mile and 4 furlongs long" - how quaint, should have said "1 and a half miles long" instead.
