When growing up we got our coal from Sherlocks who I am sure you would know.

This is the same row of houses taken from the other end of the street. This might help a little.
Reproduction of previous photo posted.
I believe this to be Waterford Street...
(which ran from Marlborough street to Lower Gardiner street)
it was previously named Upper Tyrone Street and before that
Upper Mecklenburgh Street
The former names were changed because of their association with Monto
The laneway was named Hurst Lane ...and sometimes Stable Lane
there was no archway over the lane
the house beside the lane was number 3
The demolished house was number 6
The kids and the woman in the doorway are outside number10 and the narrowness of the building next door ..number 9...is clearly made out on the OSI mapreader..at OSI .ie
most of the houses have repair work done to the upper floors..I think this was due to damage during the Civil War when the Hammam.. Granville ..and Gresham hotels were being shelled by an artillery piece sited at Henry Street and the concussion of the explosions damaged the roofs ...as Waterford Street was at the back of the Gresham
The single height buildings at the end of the terrace became the Dandy Garage numbers ,13 to 16
The last house before the (Dandy) garage is number 12
Waterford Street is no more and is built over by Champions Avenue
ps..on the photo with the kids in it ..you can see the on the left hand side ...the small outside wall of what became the garage

I am amazed that you got that, it could have been any street Dublin. I do remember a post office and Morans barber shop on Rutland Street.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.
