    Brilliant! I'd say you were on the same spot as the photographer was 100 years ago. It hasn't really changed much all the same.

    Those two pics would look good framed either side by side separately or with the two pictures 'stitched'.

    Great getting the two pics from the same view.

    Re Dublin 1985.

    The footage of the band playing is from 1985 but it would appear that the footage of Grafton Street, College Green and Westmoreland Street is much later - probably early to mid nineties.

    Great stuff Rashers! My Dad has passed away, but I'm sure my mum would be interested in those photos.

    How about framing either of these two for your mum? Mairt did a great job of matching so I 'stitched' the old to the new.

    (the footpath outside the pub looks like it hasn't been rebuilt.. the old and new look the same to me)

    I wonder if someone sees these 100 years from now how different it will look to them. The church will probably still be there but dwarfed by tall glass office buildings.

    I hope not, I love the area as it is, although in 100 years I wont have a say :( Dont know if anyone remembers the old site where spar is, they look the same in the pics but about ten years ago there was a gas explosin (Insurance fraud) and it tottally destroyed the building, The builders did a good job making it look the same.

    That place was on my route to school.

    I heard at the time that it was a problem with insurance of a different kind that caused it to be burnt out. They weren't paying the right people. It was a rumour though, so I could be wrong.

    They did a pretty good job of restoring it though.

    A good few years ago Kavanaghs refurbished right around the block, building the railings around the shop and joining the building with the flats to build more apartments so the ornamental design was got rid of then.

    It remind me of that 1990s TV series with Nicolas Lindhurst as a TV Repair man who steps through to war torn London. Can't think of the bloody name of it!

    There's a deadly little shop on the north quays which has lots of photos from various villages and towns at points in the past.

    Love this thread.

    Sadly, this shop closed down recently. No idea if it's relocated or what..

    Great thread. Being a 'new' northsider, I find the pics of the Summerhill, Gardiner Street etc fascinating.. I knew there were a lot of tenements around in the past, but I never knew just *how* many..

    It was on Ormond Quay but is now closed as said but it didn't have that many north inner city pics. Plenty of the Rathgar/Rathmines variety as well as outer suburban pics. I think it was called the Historical Picture Shop or something like that.

    Slightly OT but here's the first ever episode and there's more on YouTube.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st72Xd0xRaU


    To stay on topic... no one's guessed my last pic yet, so maybe more luck with this one from 1952?

    Is it also on Dorset Street.. the curve in the road looks kinda similar... The tallest Building on the left would be little Kavanaghs, If I'm right?

    Rashers, where did ya get all these photos? They're bloody brilliant!

    I did a course in UCD a few years back on the history and development of Dublin from viking times right up to the present. Really interesting stuff.

    Would advise anyone to get a book on the subject. Ya wont be dissapointed. ;)

    Thank you. I love this city and especially her history.

    That's something I'd love to do. I have a great interest in Dublin since the Vikings
    Would advise anyone to get a book on the subject. Ya wont be dissapointed. ;)

    Try a book called Dublin by Peter Somerville-Large. I could recommend a lot of books.... Villages of Dublin by Pat Liddy is a good one too.... Dublin be Proud..... the list is endless.

    There's a good DVD available too called Medieval Dublin (from Vikings to Tudors).

    From 1953.... where?
