Cranking up the old Flickr machine after my holliers, and thought that to make up for my absence, we'd have a street corner double whammy today! So, here's the corner of North Frederick Street and Hardwicke Street in Dublin.

Unsure of date, but must have been after 1905, as there are Irish Independent news posters outside Field's. See comments below for dating investigating, and for some lovely information on the ladies who owned Field's...

Date: Circa 1912?

And here's the view from around the corner on North Frederick Street and Hardwicke Street, Dublin.

Unsure of date, but must have been after 1905, as there are Irish Independent news posters outside Field's... And can't quite make out the time on the clock - 1 o'clock? 2 o'clock?

Gorgeous class photo from Synge Street School in Dublin. Love the facial expressions and the haircuts, and look at the rebel (top left) with his hair parted on the right...

Would love to get names for some of these guys, and I'm sure we can do it!
