Still in Dublin today but we went South side today to Ship Street at the rere of Dublin Castle. I'm finding it hard to identify any of the buildings in this fine Royal plate but it could perhaps be the PoV? As regards date we can be sure that it was before 1922 if nothing else:-)

Probably still intact as there is a Lawrence Photographic Project in 1990/91 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000354584

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia Is this inside the castle gate rather than in Ship Street itself?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/lizinitaly] is always amazing! Streetview is a bit odd around there, but this is not too awful - goo.gl/maps/pJRzF2GP1adrtueY9

Any idea on date? Regiment / Unuform?
Carol Maddock
From newspaper reports, it looks as if loads of different regiments were stationed there at different times. Sadly, many of these reports were printed because of soldier suicides. But what is fascinating is the sheer scale of troop movement around the country, and out foreign... June 1893 2nd Batt. Rifle Brigade March 1894 North Staffordshire Regiment August 1895 2nd Batt. Hampshire Regiment (67th), and they were taking over from the 1st Oxfordshire Regiment. January 1906 Military Foot Police (Looks as if they always had a presence? Who guards the guards?) December 1906 Essex Regiment, taking over from the 4th Batt. Royal Fusiliers (who were going to Mullingar to replace the Connaught Rangers, who were going to Malta!) September 1908 2nd Batt. Lancashire Fusiliers

Very nice!

Not really Ship St (from the olden Sheep St) but rather the Ship St barracks. Barracks on left (Great Ship St on other side), offices for barracks in background. Bermingham tower? at rear. arcg.is/1rmzmi on the 25'

The Martini-Henry rifle in service from 1871 until 1889. Any idea of which regiments served during that period?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/184711311@N04 It seems to change every few months or so and the barracks is not always occupied by the same regiment. I have seen regiments from Essex and Sussex noted.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia https://www.flickr.com/photos/tycho1a Beachcomber suggests 10.55am. If you click on the NLI Ref: link above you can zoom into the photo via our catalogue.

I put a query into the Great War Forum and have placed a PDF of the answers I got from a very knowledgeable pal onto Archive.org. There is no definitive answer because the sentry's collar insignia is partially obscured by the bayonet (any chance of an enlargement from the original?) Anyway a wealth of info here: ia601405.us.archive.org/16/items/ship-street/Ship%20Stree...
