Crowds waiting to meet prisoners released under general amnesty.

This photo must have been taken from the railway bridge at Westland Row station as was (Pearse Station now).

We had no idea where this market place was, but mogey recognised it in record time as being Grattan Square in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford!

We have the National Bank on one corner, and Charles McCarthy, draper over to the right. There's a faded O'Connor and a Walsh. Oh, and not one, but two men working up ladders! Is that a record?

There's a fantastic sign on the shed with a List of Tolls, but unfortunately they're not legible. Next to the toll sign is a poster advertising a Sale, mention of Thomas McCarthy, and I think it says on Monday [?] August...

Date: 1860-1883

Bollards

Thought that we might revisit this interesting Dublin street corner, as these ornate ironwork bollards weren't so clear in this photo. They're lovely, and as swordscookie pointed out, they have holes in them "as though they were vents for something below ground". Any further information would be greatly appreciated!

For any of you thinking this is a load of bollards, this is also a great street shot. We're getting a much better view of the sculptural features of the Parnell Monument, including the oddly hyphenated provinces of Ireland: UL-STER, CON-NACHT, LEIN-STER, MUN-STER. There's the No. 8 bus on its way to Dalkey, passing by Forte's Cafe, a Dublin institution, and a cute but overloaded Fiat car complete with L plate, plus a snapshot of Dublin fashion in the Spring or summer of 1969. We don't have a more precise date for this photo, but wondering if those election(?) posters on the lamp post could help us...

Date: June/July 1969
