    Great pictures of old Dublin

    This Facebook album of photohraphs of a bygone Dublin is fascinating to browse through. Many parts of the city have changed almost beyond recognition (traffic on Henry St, car parking in the centre of O'Connell St, College Green almost empty of traffic...) and contrary to what some people would want you to believe, mostly for the better. Some of the pictures reveal a crumbling, depressing decaying Dublin. For all that it's horribly ugly, even the Stephen's Green shopping centre suddenly looks good when compared to the crumbling ruins that were the fondly remembered - but rose tinted! - Dandelion Market.

    I particularly love this evocative picture of O'Connell St. The telegram boy on his bicycle, stopping while (what looks like) a glamorous Aer Lingus "air hostess" crosses the street.

      what's good is that you no longer see children covered in dirt in Dublin. when i was a kid, you saw that all the time. what's worse is that you see teenage junkies now. overall, i agree the city looks a lot better - with the exception of dame street which, i think, has really gone to the dogs in the last 10 years.

      Brilliant nostalgia. Many complain that we have it hard now: it's incredibly different to the bleak old city. We have a lot to be thankful for. Now, I want a little backwards excursion in a time machine to pay a proper visit!

      The woman hanging out the clothes with the jumbo behind her - brilliant!
