              This is a view from Lr Rutland Street. The kids would have been about where that lamp is.... though looking away from Rutland Street. The view through the railings is actually Nth Gloucester Place. If you followed that lane it would pass on the left Our Lady of Lourdes church Sean McDermott St, just past that was where they used to play the 7-a-side football, and to the right was the 27 Steps. Walking on would bring you to Lower Gardiner Street.

                Yep those houses are still there. Rutland St Lr is behind the kids.

                          • Molyneux Yard through 54a Thomas Street.

                            Saw Rashers ask a question about the location of this this first pic at another place, (no not dat place another one)...and I remembered I had some in me stash.....

                            The first one is someones bad attempt at making a 'young' pic look old. The second pic would be more like it. The 3rd pic is still 'young' but looks right in...The 4th pic is as it was way back and pic 5 is more up to date.

                            I think the place must be connected in some way with William Molyneux of Peter Street (big house) fame, there can't have been many Mollynuxes in Dublin loike, now can der. Love the 3 wheeled barrow and the handcart. The street sign says Molyneux Yard.

                            A point of interest; The round stones up the lane, and which we used to see all over the city at one time....are called Jostle Stones....put there in days of yore to stop horse cart wheels jostling the corners and brickwork of the buildings.

                              maybe they were also to stop the axle hubs from gouging grooves in the walls.....
