Public Park in an unknown location – but for how long???? Location Identified as Sandymount Dublin by National Library of Ireland on The Commons

This lovely scene of a public park entitled "Public Park in an unknown location" has a suggestion that it may be Sandymount Green! What I find very disappointing is that a beautiful tree like that does not have a dog to water its roots!

I am surprised that the Dublin contingent have not been complaining (Letters to the Irish Times etc.) that it took over a week after we started posting again to share a photo from Dublin!

The suggested location of Sandymount was confirmed in jig time by sharon.corbet Niall McAuley and beachcomberaustralia well done all of you.

OwenMacC points out that we had a confirmed date for an O’Connor photo before of 15th August 1927 see here, which suggests that our date range of 1900 – 1920 could be (is) incorrect – more research needed

Photographer: Fergus O’Connor

Date: No date but circa 1904 to 1920 or later??

Reference: OCO 338
