Sorry I have no idea, although id also like to know where it is. The fella that does that website keeps the locations of the houses very well guarded.

Theres another Dublin one on there, he has it down as the most haunted house in Ireland or something. He's even gone as far as changing the name of the house in the article to protect its identity. But theres a couple of clues given as to its location, he says something about it having views of the liffey. I tried looking on the OSI mapviewer around the strawberry beds and lucan, switching to the 1860's maps but I couldnt find a house that looked anything like it,

In fairness to that fella he doesnt want the locations of some of these places let out so gangs of kids can drink in them and smash the place up. Although I did notice on his site theres a 'private' section, maybe if you were to talk to him and he knows your ok he might tell you where it is.

Ha ha, imagine they brought that style of news back that would be gas! No more listening to dobbo or sharon ní whatserface with their dull lifeless voices and stupid D4isms. Instead we'll have Greerson & Mr Cholmondley-Warner reading out the news on six1. Hurrah! Jolly good fun chaps!

Women queue at a bus stop in Dublin, September 1971. Know what street it is? Let us know on Facebook, or maybe upload a photo of it now.

Anyone know the street??

I stand to be corrected but I think it's Grafton Street. There was a shop called Cummiskey towards the Stephen's Green end back in the day. I'm not sure if there was more than one at any point and it would correspond with 37 Grafton St in any case.

37 Grafton st is about half way up on the left, wrong side of the street as the stops were on the other side.

Prussia st?

May be worth checking out this exhibition, closes end of Aug

Gallery of Photography Ireland and Galerie m Bochum are delighted to present the Irish premiere of the work of Evelyn Hofer (1922–2009). At the heart of this specially curated exhibition are Hofer’s beautiful and considered photographs made during her visit to Dublin in 1966. In colour and black and white, the work captures Ireland at the tipping point between an older, more conservative culture and the emerging modern world.

Just a general question, does anyone know what picture or set of pictures are the earliest ones of Dublin City??? I'm trying to find some pictures of Moore Street and Dublin inner city around the 1850's-1900's...

If anyone has any old photos of scanlans pub or killans (The Honey Pot), the Rose Bowl all in parnell street could they show them. If theres any of the tenament houses in Gardiner Street they'd be much appreciated.
