Hello Folks, My Gt.Gt.Grandfather William Bury lived at 30 North Strand from 1852 until 1863. My third Cousin has sent me a graphic of the damage done by the German bombing of Dublin in 1941 and the caption to the pic.says it shows damage to numbers 30 to 35. Does any Dublin native know if number 30 was reduced to rubble or was it left standing. Thanks and a Happy New Year to All Message sent using MelbPC WebMail Server
Dublin Library has a collection of photos taken as part of the insurance assessment of the North Strand bombings. http://www.dublinheritage.ie/historic_photographs/index.htm Might be worthwhile contacting the library and see what they have to say about number 30. At least 2 of the photos show number 30 according to the list of information held in the PDF file at : http://www.dublincity.ie/Images/North%20Strand%20Bombing%20Archives_tcm35-37 167.pdf Presumably the pic from your cousin is one of these photos. Lots of files re damage assessment etc... which might help answer your question but they're not available online. There are some photos online at http://www.fantasyjackpalance.com/fjp/photos/kf/history/index03.html but no details of street or house number unfortunately.
