Summary

Description
English: This street is not unlike some recent shots but with some differences. I thought there was what was known as a bit off a gyuck in the line up there but it is a set of points to change from a double into a single. Are they policemen in the distance????


[/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley] identified this street as Blackrock Road, Cork. He also provides a streetview link and a link to an article in the Echo from 2014, I have included an extract of the relevant section below:

"When initial survey works were carried out last year workers uncovered old tram lines and cobbles that were found intact under the road surface. The tram lines operated in Cork city from 1898 to 1931, running from Blackpool to Douglas, Summerhill to Sunday’s Well and Tivoli to Blackrock.

The trams, run by the Cork Electric Tramways and Lighting Company, ceased operation in September 1931, largely due to the increasing popularity of buses. The Council plans to incorporate the tram lines into the redevelopment of the harbour."
