Circular letter from the Catholic Boys’ Brigade Committee, Capuchin Friary, Church Street. The circular refers to the enrollment of over two thousand young boys and the need for subscriptions for the organisation. It reads: ‘The work is Catholic and essentially non-political … The premises at 156 Church Street have been purchased in fee, and are undergoing the necessary alterations. Good Brass and Fife and Drum Bands are in course of organisation; uniforms have to be provided for the boys, many initial expenses are incurred’. The file contains three copies of the document.

Albumen cabinet card images of the exterior and interior of the old Capuchin chapel on Church Street. These are photographs of the chapel constructed in 1796. The building consisted of a nave with two short transepts. The main entrance to the chapel was from Bow Street which was then a busy thoroughfare near Smithfield Market. The foundation stone for the present-day St. Mary of the Angels (which was built on the site of the old Chapel) was laid on 12 June 1868. With a cover annotated by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap.: ‘Photos of old Capuchin Church, Church St., exterior and interior’. Original albumen cabinet card images by Chancellor Studios, 55 Lower Sackville Street, Dublin. The file includes later (and over-sized) reproductions of these prints by E. Brook-Smith, 140 Stephen’s Green, Dublin. It appears that Brook-Smith had a studio at this location from c.1909-19.

Photographic print of John Atkinson’s shop at 45 Church Street, Dublin. A manuscript annotation on the print reads ‘Church Street’. The print is also annotated indicating the numbers of houses on the street. Of particular interest are the advertisements for various newspapers on the hoardings outside the shop. They include (most prominently) the ‘Irish Worker’ founded by Jim Larkin in 1911 as a pro-labour alternative to the capitalist-owned press. It was eventually suppressed for its vigorous anti-war policy in 1915. Other prints advertised include ‘Irish Freedom’, which first appeared in 1910 and continued as a monthly publication until December 1914 when it too was suppressed by the British authorities. The ‘Catholic Bulletin’ was launched in January 1911 by Patrick Keohane. It originally acted as a review journal for Catholic literature but became increasingly strident in its advocacy of advanced nationalist politics.
