Yes people had the building, but no-one named the street. I wasnt too sure of the name of the building myself that why I held off for the street name.
One of Dublin's oldest streets apparently.

I demand a recount! It does appear to be the hostel.

Correct. Although strictly speaking its Sir John Rogersons Quay at Forbes Street. Hanover Quay is on the other side of the peninsula. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=dublin&ie=UTF8&ll=53.345677,-6.237279&spn=0.002117,0.004989&t=k&z=18&om=1

Correct (I didn't know it was a wool store). 1 & 2 are actually from the same photo. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=dublin&ie=UTF8&ll=53.34789,-6.236039&spn=0.002117,0.004989&t=k&z=18&om=1

The Former British Rail Hotel

In 1867, the Midland and Great Western Railway began developing the railway, extending it around 1873, when it was formally opened by the then viceroy, Lord Spencer. In 1883, the increase in traffic between the ferry and the railway led to the replacement of an existing hotel called the Prince of Wales with a new hotel called the Northwest Hotel, which served both sets of passengers. The original structure was built prior to 1866 but is not recorded on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey, published in 1847 (surveyed in 1838). Stylistically, the building appears to date to after 1850. The former hotel building was demolished to make way for the construction of a new, ornate façade for the so-called British Rail Hotel (the current building on the site). The hotel was occupied by British officers during the War of Independence and, according to local folklore, was a frequent target of the IRA. It became known as the British Rail Hotel after the nationalisation of the railways but had ceased to be a hotel in the 1920s. It now houses offices of Iarnród Éireann. Its historical associations provide a link to an era when travel between Ireland and Britain was a more difficult and time-consuming undertaking than it is today. Its association with the British Army is an interesting sideline of greater complexity that may deserve further research.

The Wool Store

The Wool Store has an imposing presence on the western side of the original Wapping Street. It was constructed between 1847 and 1864 and was therefore probably built as a port facility, immediately prior to the coming of the railway. It was subsequently incorporated into the London and North Western Railway Company's North Wall Station, although it was never directly accessible from the railway sidings. In the 1940s, it was referred to as the Wool Warehouse Stable, and it has been derelict since the early 1980s.

Correct. Well done Victor. Top marks.

Despite the fact it could have been anywhere, I'm always amazed how people seem to know the location in these heavily cropped, obscure photos.:)

Very well done! It's called Wilson Place. It's literally straight across from my house too. That bike you can just see on the right hasn't moved for 2 years.

Wishbone Ash

Well done Victor on Wilson Place - that's impressive!

Ah come on, I've given the location
I think it's called King's Bridge (from Kingsbridge Station).
No doubt it's been renamed but my guess it King's Bridge

Originally Kingsbridge, then Sarsfield bridge, now Sean Heuston bridge.

It's like Opal Fruits - they change the name but everyone still knows it as the old name.

Sean Heuston Bridge!

Indeed it was formerly called King's Bridge and was built to commemerate the visit of King George IV in 1821.
