To end the week we have a familiar scene but an unfamiliar variation and view of that scene! O'Connell Bridge in 1916, apparently after the Rising, with military figures around and works going on in the central island. What does the photograph tell us and when, exactly, was it taken?

Anyone know why this bridge was built so wide, in a time before mechanised transport? Same also for the main thoroughfare in some Irish towns.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/gerrydunne] Gerry - The Wide Streets Commission (officially the Commissioners for making Wide and Convenient Ways, Streets and Passages), was established by an Act of Parliament in 1757, at the request of Dublin Corporation, as a body to govern standards on the layout of streets, bridges, buildings and other architectural considerations in Dublin. The commission was abolished by the Dublin Improvement Act of 1849, with the final meeting of the Commission taking place on 2 January 1851. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Streets_Commission
