An aerial view of Marino, a suburb on the north side of Dublin, in June 1932. Visible in the photograph is the O’Brien Institute which was built in the early 1880s as an orphan home and school. The Institute buildings are now used as a training and conference centre for Dublin City Fire Brigade. The print shows large tents pitched on the grounds of the Casino in Marino. The tents may have had some connection with pilgrims attending the International Eucharistic Congress.
An aerial view of Marina Quay and the River Lee in Cork. The steamship in the upper left-hand corner of the photograph is the ‘Innisfallen’, built in 1930 for the City of Cork Steam Packet Company. This ship was lost off Liverpool on 21 December 1940.
An aerial view of Marina Quay and the River Lee taken from the Montenotte area in Cork. The original print is endorsed with an annotation on the reverse affirming that it was ‘passed by the censor’ suggesting that the photograph was taken some time between 1939 and 1945.
