  Apologies for veering off topic - although not too far - but Helena Zinkham, head of the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, gave us all a lovely compliment on the LOC's blog. She's been involved in Flickr Commons from when it was just a twinkle in George Oates' eye. Anyway, Helena says:

  "... For example, in the National Library of Ireland’s photostream, delightful conversations develop as a group pieces together the story for each photograph..."

  I think we're the only ones who get a special mention. :)

  There was an archaeological impact assessment which has a comparison between this photo and an earlier one taken in 1891. This photo was assumed to be c. 1900.

  I don't think it's Northern General Hospital, it didn't exist back then. It was The Workhouse
