A little bit of colour today, with a blue door marking a shop where Kennedy’s Bread was for sale. This from the rarely visited Michael S. Walker collection gives Morning Mary the chance to show that she learned her TV jingles off, even if she couldn’t sing without clearing the room!

That's Kennedy's Bread!

You lot are unfailingly amazing, but every so often you knock our elderly lady socks off (nice colours in a range of natural fibres, cool in summer, sensibly warm in winter)! To identify a location for these blue doors, even with the aid of knowing they were in the Milltown area of Dublin, is pretty spectacular! Take a bow, Bernard Healy, and your friend of a friend, David Costello...

Based on nothing more than the shape of the door, I'll guess that this is Patrick St. rather than Parnell St.
derangedlemur
It looks like one of these doors: goo.gl/maps/ARF3Lr2vjCd64JSz5

It's actually across the road: www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/historic-dublin-ba... Edit: Only just realised this is Parnell St - see below
derangedlemur
I haven't found a picture of the door shut on Parnell Street, so I can't rule it out either.

Here we are: Could just as easily be Parnell St.: goo.gl/maps/SsDhj7UFHXHzb1F36

I sit quietly stunned that the door design was enough to help it's location. I think I doing good if I can spot a barefoot and the backend of a dog.

Guessing the subtitle is SOLD HERE

Same style of door at Howleys in Kilfenora Co Clare 60s/70s Shop is still there but door gone. Broadricks bread was the what they sold.
derangedlemur
https://www.flickr.com/photos/foxglove It looks like the doors on the Iveagh buildings, but once you establish that it's a random shop as opposed to the bakery, it really could be anywhere. Probably Dublin is the most you could reasonably conclude.

Ah, sure it says on it. Milltown road!

:D https://www.flickr.com/photos/8468254@N02 But sure you got a good virtual run around Dublin – great exercise for the brain.

"Kennedy's bread is made of lead, If you eat it, You'll drop dead" An old skipping rhyme from my childhood

There's a remarkable dearth of photos of Milltown from the '70s on the internet.

also slightly photo-bugged as the photo is shifted left :-) it's a bad sign

“Don’t eat Kennedy’s Bread, it’ll stick to your belly like lead, you’ll be farting like thunder, with your trousers asunder, don’t eat Kennedy’s Bread.” (from frankieflynn.blogspot.com/2014/02/dublin-bread-wars.html)

Hardly a shop along the entire Milltown Rd nowadays, except for a modern Eurospar. Its long gone, good luck locating this one

And another skipping rhyme from childhood days: "Johnston Mooney & O'Brien, Bought a horse for one and nine The horse died What a crime Johnston Mooney & O'Brien" Bread being the food children were most familiar with, no French toast or croissants back in them times.

Would you believe that I can offer a pretty solid location? A friend of a friend (David Costello) has written a history of Milltown and on looking at the photo has made the following suggestion: It's next to the mosque on the Dundrum side of Milltown bridge on the corner opposite the junction to Whitebeam road etc. It’s no 1 Bankside Cottages. It used to be a shop since 19th century but it’s a private house now. Anyway, the house is now called The Stores on Dundrum Road, and has had a famous owner, Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains. www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/new-... Here is the Streetview: goo.gl/maps/cs2txss6bGWnbASS8 That doesn't look conclusive in the newest images, but if you view it on Desktop and revert to the June 2009 streetview you'll see the original door!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/bernardhealy Unbelievable! But in a good way. Thank you, Bernard, and thank you to David Costello. You've made an old library very happy!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland I just happened to be talking to an old college friend from Milltown and I thought that it might be worth a punt asking her if she remembered the doors from when she was a child in the 1980s. She didn't, but passed the query on to the historian & he came up trumps. I'm not entirely surprised that someone might remember a door like this when the area is narrowed down somewhat and you ask the right kind of person. I was, however, surprised that it was still there in 2009 so that we could confirm it on Streetview.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland BTW, I'll have an update this afternoon from that wedding photo in Tramore. Have a little extra information & a possible query re: location.

Please see link below for the location of the door. This shop was owned by Patrick O'Neill (my great-uncle) His son-in-law, the late Paddy Maloney lived here at one point. www.google.com/maps/@53.3097469,-6.2465321,3a,75y,280.85h...
