A street in Dublin City? While this is what the catalogue says, I really don't think so! But, if not Dublin, then where is it or even where was it? A busy hilly street somewhere in Ireland, where a Taoiseach might meet a man in a pub with a pint in each hand? At least they had the electric so dating may not be too hard...
... And we have confirmation that indeed this isn't Dublin, but Ludlow Street in Navan, County Meath. Derangedlemur very quickly set us straight, and while his explanation (that he's "memorised all of Google StreetView") was probably intended as a joke, sometimes I do wonder :)
Beachcomber reminds us that we have previously seen other Eason photos of Navan similarly mislabelled - something to look out for in future...

Ludlow Street in Navan: www.google.ie/maps/@53.6521292,-6.6832807,3a,75y,18.27h,8...

It's a bit featureless on the OSI: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,687049,767731,12,9

It's an odd view to choose. I wonder was he commissioned to photograph the church, and just turned the camera around while he had it set up there? Also, TPM.

This Eason shot of Navan in the Archive has a GAA poster dated 12th May 1912, nearby on Watergate street.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley Seems plausible. The 1911 census matches the shopfronts, except for Mangan.

Ringing a deja vu bell all over again - I think it is the telephone poles - https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/22726062182/

An earlier Lawrence shot. P Finegan at right in both, no telegraph poles in the Lawrence.

Vague reference to someone building premises on Ludlow st. in 1901 in the DIA. Most of the builfings are much older - 1830ish. Could be that 2 story building at right with the 1st floor bay windows?
Niall McAuley
This Lawrence is between the two, Peter Finegan signage as in todays, no 1st storey bay windows yet.

The facade of the bay-windowed establishment might be 1901. I'd be surprised if that big stone side wall wasn't older. Edit: Actually, it says "Alts", so it quite possibly is just a new facade, or the insertion of a shop front. NIAH has a new shopfront listed for 1910, first house on the left, I think.

This Stereo Pair (pre-1884) matches the earlier Lawrence I linked.

Excellent https://www.flickr.com/photos/8468254@N02 - description updated! (And while I'm sure "memorised all of google streetview" was a joke, sometimes I do wonder..... :) ) What do we think on date? It's hard to keep up sometimes, but seems like 1910/11/12ish is the general consensus(?)
