I got these photos in an email from Anne. This is the Dublin I remember and I think these photos capture the spirit of the city in those days. This was 48 years ago after all. I especially liked the shots where it is just after a rainfall and the streets are a little glossy. I also like the ones of the bikes in the streets. I was one of those bikers.

These are fantastic pics...love them and yes the picture after the rain is brilliant. Didn't know Anne had these. Brilliant.
I thought the buses and the bikes and the VW vans look great...Did you notice the 50b bus? I got these from a friend in work..great to have..
I did notice the 50B bus to college green. I looked to see if the Da was running after it.
Great to see Dublin like this, Brilliant photos.
Hi Anne, are these photos, or are they postcards?
Terry, these are from a collection of photos published in a book, I will send you the email with link, they are great photos, and make me very nostalgic...did anyone notice the guy on the lambretta scooter?..classic...Da had oneof these.
love these photos.
Dublin was a lot like that in mytime too. These was a year before I was born. I dont think things changed all that much until the mid 70's.
Looks like a very different place now..
This was four years before I left so I would have been working in either Clerys or The Gresham.
Terry would have been in the Shelbourne. I used to either take the bus or ride the bike into work.
