    Leinster Market - I didn't think this would work but it seems to have ! :)

    I simply photographed the pic from a book. The book is dated 1972 and it refers to the pics being taken "90 years ago" so it must date from about the 1880s.

    The caption reads "Leinster Market, behind D'Olier Street and a few of its inhabitants"

    That looks like an interesting little laneway. I'll have to check it out next time I'm over.

    Try MS Office Picture Manager(part of MS office '03 obviously :D) raheny red. I use it to crop and resize pics, its the best thing MS have and its fast!
    Another little tip: Copy the entire pic first before you crop or edit it . That way, you have still got a copy of the origional pic to post if it's correctly identified. It's interesting to be able to show a detailed image in its wider context (and it provides proof to those of little faith! ;))

    Is 48 Dame Street? The 3rd building from the left looks a bit like the upstairs of the lap dancing club there (Lapellos?) across from South Great Georges Street.

    It looks like O'Connell Street alright but I think Eason's is a newer building.

    "Established 1900, erected 1920" would lead me to think that it was an O'Connell Street building that was damaged in the rising and rebuilt several years later. Presumably the business name began with a "B".

    I was thinking of the building where Supermacs is at the corner with Abbey Street. I can't for the life of me remember what was there beforehand!

    The car park in Andrew's Lane has blue steel circles with 4 blue bars running through each circle and set into arched window spaces. ;)

    I used to go to a teenage "disco" there back in the early eighties. It was called "The Tara Club" and didn't sell any alcohol. The attraction was it closed at 1 am and at that time the pubs used to close at 11pm so you had a few pints (if you could get served) and then went to the Tara to find a mot.

    AFAIR "Tin Pan Alley" was in the basement of "The Harp" (now q-bar) in the late eighties early nineties.
    The "Tara" was in the building after the lane and I'd say it closed down around1984. It's now a student niteclub called "Twenty one".
