The print shows the building before the addition of the Sacred Heart Chapel which was built as an aisle church in 1908. The caption refers to the ordination of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC (1790-1856) in the previous chapel on Church Street in 1809. With cover. A copy of this image is extant at CA-PH-1-71.
A view of the Strawberry Beds in Dublin in about 1910. Running alongside the northern banks of the River Liffey between the villages of Chapelizod and Lucan, the Strawberry Beds were so-called on account of the fruits which were cultivated and sold there in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It was also traditionally a popular honeymoon destination for Dubliners. The bridge, spanning the River Liffey, is the Farmleigh Bridge, also known as the Silver Bridge, Guinness Bridge or Strawberry Beds Bridge. It is now disused and largely derelict.
