Saw this image from the National Library of Ireland in a post on here.
It described as:
"Airport Bus. September 1961."
No known copyright restrictions. This photos also appears in collections of 1960s images of Dublin.
It feels older, certainly when compared to other 60s photos, if it was labelled as late 1940 it would seem just as reasonable. Is this really Dublin in 1961 or miss-attributed?

Cabman's shelter on Sackville Street (now O'Connell Street), Dublin, Ireland with a Dublin Metropolitan Policeman standing outside. Probably early 1900s. These shelters provided an alternative to pubs, where cab drivers could rest, eat and drink, and read the newspapers. My ancestors were cab owner/drivers in Dublin.
