Wow some great pics there, I was only a nipper when they were ripping down most of those old tenement houses but I showed my mother the thread, she loved it.,

Anyone got any more pics? I'll raid through the parents ones when i get a chance and scan some up.,

I think the marathon pic is looking north up Harcourt St.

Possibly. I presumed it was around Merrion Square but it just doesn't look right.

That's what I was thinking too, if it lends any credence to it

Could that be Harcourt Tce garda station just out of picture to the right of the pic?

(That sounds wonky but y'know what I mean)

To the right of that pic would be the junction of Hatch St at the old Harcourt St station (where the Luas line stops).

The bus stop is the give away!.

Hope this isn't a re-post. This is Lower Gardiner Street from the junction of Gloucester St (now Sean McDermott St) looking towards Mountjoy Square.

The year is 1929.

I came across a collection of pictures of Dublin in 1961. An American, Charles W. Cushman travelled the world for 30 years, including a visit to Dublin. When he died, he left his collection to the Indiana University, who have uploaded them. Be prepared for long loading times. I realise there's a lot of photos (and a lot of the usual suspects) but I think they're good enough to post in full size.

So, some questions: What's up with the upside down Polish flags? What is the small building in the Christchurch pictures? There are a few aerial pictures of county Dublin that I didn't post. They can be found here - http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cush...=1&pagesize=20 I'm interested in them, but I can't recognise anything. Anybody able to spot some landmarks or roads? I'm interested in this one in particular - http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cush...se&pnum=P12231 Is it northside or southside?

Also, I had originally been searching for something else. I saw a picture in a magazine today of a round tower on College Green. It's definitely a double take picture. It's from a book called Robert L. Chapman's Ireland, a collection of amateur photographs. Anyway, it was taken during the 1932 Eucharistic Congress, where Irish symbols were placed around Dublin. I can find mention of it in google searches but no pictures. Anybody have that picture?

Apparently, there's a limit to the amount of images in a post.

EDIT: I just noticed Daniel O'Connell bus surfing on O'Connell bridge.

admiralofthefleet · 15-01-2009, 02:33

they are excellent, thanks a million

Very nice photos, is it just me or does Dublin look very clean in those snaps from the 60's? Good old days id say but before my time. Thanks for posting.

bealbocht · 15-01-2009, 03:05
