Hi Alison,
Thanks for sharing the photo of them.
I did look through your posts for same.
On two threads,inc'this one.
My Gt.Gt.G/F was involved in the 1886
strike.And like you,I have only found records,
for same, at the Freemans Newspaper archive,and one other source,which is not of much addition.
Freeman's also gave me an account of Tom Dunne's funeral,which saw huge numbers out on the quaysides,and across the city,on the route his cortege took to Glasnevin.
There were no photos unfortunately taken then.
I dont have the copies i got at the National Archives,here some years ago,
as they are gone to a restorer to copy-repair.
The Thorncastle str image you posed is the best known,and clearest image of it.
But there are others.
This 1st one from c.1880-90 shows Fishermans wharf,with Thorncastle to the right.
The chimney seen[above row of cottages there]shows the Ringsend Bottle Works plant at Fitzwilliam qy. The Hibernian works is to the extreme right out of view,but it gives some idea of the street back then.with gas lamp standard, at corner.
The 2nd att.pic shows a ship berthed a the slipway,adjacent to the Hibernian Bottle works.again c.1880-90s when it was in operation.taken from a similar perspective to the 1940 one I posted earlier.[from 'Hatches Corner']as it was,and is yet called locally.
Photo 3.Shows the view towards the irish Products co.Hibernian works along the [then]York Rd.
After this it was taken over by the Hammond Lane foundry Co,who scrapped old shipping,and larger
things such as city buses &c[I have a photo,or two, from that era mid 70s onwards.
In this one you can still see some of the original stone walls of the glass works.
Last pic is an advert for the irish products, c.1942.from the Capuchin Archive-annual of that year.
PS I could not post all[too large]so will add in separate post below.three attached for now,fingers crossed.
