1930's Ireland images - Old Dublin street scenes


 Early 20th century photographs of O'Connell Street Bridge in Dublin Ireland.
1930's Dublin Ireland, O'Connell Street Bridge

1930's Dublin city center street scene. Trams on O'Connell Street Bridge & a Guinness Barge on the River Liffey, making its way upriver to the nearby Guinness Brewery. The steam barges ferried beer barrels from the James Street brewery to Victoria Quay where the Guinness ships docked. Up until the late 1950's the barges were used extensively on Ireland's waterways to transport kegs of Guinness. Their funnels were hinged, enabling them to be lowered when travelling under the Liffey's bridges at high tides, (see video clip below).

The stationary horse & trap at the lower left of the image is a hackney driver waiting for a fare and a taxi rank still exists at the same location. Looking down O'Connell Street, the twin veranda overhanging shutters of Clerys department store are visible to the right of   Nelsons Pillar.
