    Re the man with the beret looking through the books. Is he the one who sold books on Henry st. outside Roches, or was he on the corner of Moore st. had a funny wooden display board?

    And the way we dressed back in 1983 - no hoodies here!.

    Any of the older Ballymun members might know some of these heads (I took the photo so I'm not in it) and who can name the concert? (Dalymount Park).

    Guy in the middle looks like a fella called martin, used to work in the fish shop, who oddly enough i walked past today on grafton street. Might be too young to be him though...

    I've done no work since about 4 o'clock yesterday when I stumbled on this thread. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Now I have finally made it to the end of 50 pages ... I had to register in order to say thanks everyone.

    Someone asked a while back about Anderson, Stanford & Ridgeway. I think I am right in saying they used to be at the bottom of Dawson Street, the building that is now Waterstones. It was Laura Ashley before that & used to have an amazing staircase which was also part of it as A, S & R.

    A couple more photos from the North side, sorry about quality of these, looks like someone was eating their tea off them!

    Cuffe St. 1959.

    2 from Georges Pocket (Place), possibly in the early 60s. Still had horse drawn milk floats.

    Great photos Gaspode, thank you.

    If you have any more northside pics I'm sure many of us here would love to see them. I definitely would anyway.

    I love that photo of George's Pocket where you can see the old milk float.... and that could well be me on my old nifty fifty in the background.

    Thanks again.

    In for the kill at "The National" (National Ballroom, Parnell Square) circa. 1976.

    (The 'interested' looking girl in the red coat is holding a pack of Player's No. 6, a very popular cigarette at the time.)

    Well if you know all those lads, you know me.

    And most likely I know you too!.

    I haven't seen any of the lads in years!... And had a soft spot for one of their sister's when we were teens.

    How some of us made it through Ballymun in the 80's beats the crap out of me!.

    Anyway 'Hi', lets continue with the thread.
