Summary
Grafton Street in Dublin, long before pedestrianisation was even a twinkle in Dublin Corporation's eye. Check out the tags for the car registrations that are clear enough to read - the only one I'm unsure of is either ZD 6822 or 9822...Niall McAuley ( gnmcauley/ ) very kindly rounded up the dates for ZC, ZD and IH registration plates:.IH 1 to IH 9999 (Dec 1903 - Jan 1952);.ZC 1 to ZC 9999 (Mar 1937 - Jan 1940);.ZD 1 to ZD 9999 (Jan 1940 - Jan 1947). And Niall gave us this Street View ( http://maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&ll=53.340608,-6.259788&spn=0.002553,0.004823&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=53.340503,-6.260819&panoid=rih_tXeCw-8azzMtvemw5Q&cbp=12,15.36,,1,-4.58 ) link...Thanks to MKSeery ( 39393844@N04/ ) for this contribution:."RE date: The Ingersoll building is attributed in DIA to Robert George Hopcraft, who died in 1947...Terry de Valera writes in 1986 Dublin Historical Record that Monument Café was one of the first café chains in Ireland (note added)...He also mentions other businesses on Grafton St in the early 1940s, from the Trinity end up: Mitchell's Café (opposite Wicklow St) - "haunt of groups of pugnacious middle-aged, very middle-class ladies", Millar & Beatty furniture shop, Knowles fruit shop, McConnell's fish merchants and poulterers, Monument Café, Roberts Café, Lambert Briens, and on the other side from the Green down to TCD: Noblett's sweet shop, and Kapp & Peterson."..Philip Ward ( 54708393@N08/ ) has a very personal memory of Fannin's at no. 41 (next door to Keatinge's):."No.41 is Fannin & Co, surgical and medical supplies and chemists at that location from the late 1800s to the mid sixties. My father worked there for many years. I remember visiting him as a young lad of 10 and looking at the Leeches for sale!"..More great information in from MKSeery ( 39393844@N04/ ) on Keatinge's at no. 42:."It looks like Keatinges were more than just plumbers and decorators, but scholars too! The shop appears in all the earlier Lawrence photos. A Mr Charles T Keatinge, with an address of Grafton St, was a Fellow of the Institute of British Decorators, and wrote a paper for JRSAI in 1900 entitled 'The Guild of Cutlers, Painter-Stainers and Stationers, Better Known as the Guild of St. Luke the Evangelist, Dublin'..And one more little thing about Keatinges: an advert ( 39393844@N04/7154135291/ ) that appears (no date but "Saorstat" mentioned) states:. WE ARE CONTRACTORS for every kind of Building from the Foundations to the Final Coat of Paint We decorate homes in every county of Saorstat. Select Your Wall Papers and decide on your Scheme of Decoration in our Showrooms. 42 GRAFTON STREET,DUBLIN. J. F. Keatinge & Sons, Ltd. Phone Dublin 224.

Images from our photo collections that show those magnificent men (and women) in their flying, choo choo-ing, and driving machines... Oh, and we've cheated, we're adding boats and ships, jaunting cars and carriages, trams too and bicycles - we're completely shameless. So, basically any form of transport - air, sea, land - with the exception of two human feet...

James Valentine was a Scottish photographer born in Dundee, Scotland, on 12 June 1815. He was the son of a linen manufacturer and began his career as an apprentice to a local engraver. In 1839 he set up his own engraving and printing business in Dundee. Valentine's interest in photography began in the early 1850s when he became interested in the calotype process. He established a photographic studio in Dundee in 1851 and quickly gained a reputation for his high quality portraits. He also began to produce photographic views of Scotland, which he sold as prints. In 1854 Valentine began to publish his photographic views of Scotland as postcards, which became very popular with tourists. He also published a series of guidebooks to Scotland which included his photographs. Valentine's postcards and guidebooks helped to promote tourism in Scotland and played an important role in the development of the Scottish tourist industry. Valentine continued to expand his business, opening branches in Edinburgh and London. In 1867 he was appointed Queen Victoria's photographer and received a Royal Warrant. He continued to produce photographic views of Scotland and other parts of Britain until his death on 19 November 1879. Today James Valentine is remembered as one of Scotland's most important photographers and a pioneer of the postcard industry. His photographs of Scotland remain popular with tourists and collectors around the world.
