Thousands of photos of Dublin in previous decades have been circulating on forums and social media over the past 10 or 15 years, showing every now-lost corner of the city, but I think this is the only photo of the famous Bartley Dunn's. Well done! Also, the area around George's Street arcade has changed dramatically since your photo was taken. For better or for worse, it's now been remade as a chic district of fashionable restaurants, bars and independent shops.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427590523862912786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965582.post-52248518316405543652009-03-27T23:38:00.000+00:002009-03-27T23:38:00.000+00:00Anonymous,Thanks for the information!

It was a pub on Lower Stephen Street, and it was sold in 1991 to property developers who specialise in developing large drinking emporiums, or "superpubs". It was duly demolished and a large place called Break for the Border was built - it's an American theme pub and caters to parties and tourists.<BR/><BR/>I don't even remember Bartley Dunnes, I'm just a little bit too young. My partner, who is a couple of years older than I am identified it and it's thanks to her that I'm writing this post! <BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965582.post-58103201731779676072008-06-10T23:17:00.000+01:002008-06-10T23:17:00.000+01:00Holy crap.

Dublin has morphed, but it is still recognisable, although far, far wealthier than those dreary days.<BR/><BR/>I am a Dublin native, and a keen photographer of my native city.

I used to go to St. Patrick's Cathedral when the sun didn't shine too strong. The building you didn't recognise clearly seems B&B to me. On the second photo from the last, I didn't know the building initially had 'Sony' sign on it because now it's had 'Heineken.'Sunkyounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225332211420700477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965582.post-85948689606891431152007-07-24T00:08:00.000+01:002007-07-24T00:08:00.000+01:00Sorry Ruth, it may take some time to load.
