30 Amazing Color Photographs of Dublin, Ireland in 1961

Dublin in these photos from 1961 seems a different world and possibly a different planet. The photographs were taken by American photographer Charles W. Cushman, who travelled the world for 30 years, including a visit to Dublin.

  3. Some of these are not quite labelled correctly. For example, the "View north up O'Connell Dublin" is really from the base of Grafton street facing north. You can barely see anything of O'Connell street from there.

    Would it be of any interest to get the Google Earth location of each of the pictures? Or comparisons with the modern Google street view images? Something like this :
