This is an intriguing suggestion so I looked it up and came across pics here

as well as an assertion that they were demolished n the 60's so sadly not the place unless there were other buildings in the complex.

Archiseek says 1975.

Hello,

To me that looks like the married quarters of Griffith Barracks, formerly Wellington Barracks, now Griffith College on the South Circular Road near Leonards Corner. The married quarters were to left of the barracks as you face it. The site is now occupied by a health centre or clinic of some type.

It is a nursing home, Bellevue. Currently closed and under renovation at present.

Thanks for suggestion. It is an outside possibility as I lived quite close to Griffith Barracks but I don't recall ever going inside. I think there was a barrier across the SC Rd entrance as far as I can remember so it was probably a manned entrance. I am still inclined to think it was Thomas St/James St area or somewhere close to the south Quays.

Funland is there. Surely not the same one that was/is on O'Connell st beside Henry st to this day (or at least recently) ??

My great grandfather's leather shop at no. 45 James's Street, Dublin, sometime between 1919 & 1940. It's a Centra store now. If there's anyone who still remembers this, they would probably be in their late 80s by now. Maybe someone would remember their parents talking about this shop?

More info on the previous owner, Christopher Burgess, here.

Thanks for that. I came across the Burgess photo a few years ago and was in contact with Pól O' Dwyer (Christy Burgess was his GG) to see if he had any more info/stories about my GG.

Big ask but would anyone have any pics of The Monument Creameries Cafe, particularly the one in Ranelagh? They were in operation from the 20s until 1966 when they went into voluntary liquidation. I lived over the cafe until 1970 but don't have a pic of the shopfront

My mother, Kitty White was manageress of the Monument Creamery in Ranelagh during the 1950’s, according to family ledgend

I don't know how to upload photos since Photobucket changed things. But you may find what you are looking for HERE

Best of luck

It would appear they have already posted there, either that or another resident of the same flat did.

The Duchas image collection and the Dublin City Libraries site would be the first two places I'd recommend digging./

Thanks in advance

Bumping an old thread but have a cool pic of my granddad and his brother.



Is it just me or is an extremely handsome fella? I love the girls face in the back, I think there used to be photographers or something around the city who would take random pics of passers by and then sell them.

Edit: Thank you Mr. Arthur Field for this picture. What a great role he played in capturing the lives of people in this city.

that's unreal. Think I've heard about him before now that you said his name. something so enchanting about it. I have raglan road, marino walz and rare auld times and just weeping.Strange longing for Dubliners I never even knew. Maybe it's what they represent They are all part of our collective past as Dubs.
