Description

Description from National Library of Ireland Flickr page:

Our catalogue described this as a Street scene, possibly in Dublin: with motor cars, pedestrians and tramlines. I knew we could do better than that, hoping J. McCaffrey at no. 39 would be a help.

I was thinking Terenure-ish, but was absolutely wrong! Thanks a million to DannyM8 who suggested Donnybrook, and then backed it up with hard evidence from the 1911 census, finding John McCaffrey, greengrocer, (35) at 39 Donnybrook Road!

With regard to an accurate date for this photo, one of the Irish Times news posters trumpets Religious War in Mexico, and exactly that headline appeared on page 8 of the Irish Times on Monday, 15 August 1927, so that seems relatively safe for dating...

P.S. Love the alleged Confesserie! Did you confess your guilt for guzzling cream cakes here?

Date: Monday, 15 August 1927
