I'll get the ball rolling, if anyone wants to follow, work away.


Here's a photo of Ashtown Crossroads from 1948.




In the centre we have the Ashtown Tin Box company, which is where DG Gowan are now. I think the box co. are now located at a far smaller premises in Finglas.
To the right of that you can see the monument to Martin Savage, which is now placed against the wall of the racecourse at the roundabout.

Further right is Kellys (Halfway House) Pub.

Near the Very top right you can (just about!) see the dome of the observatory in Dunsink, and just below it the below it, Dunsinea and Scribblestown.
Peeping through the trees near the centre of the picture is Ashton House.

bottom right is a house who's name I cant remember (I think it may have been belvedere or windemere) which was replaced by apartments a few years ago.]]>
