Summary

Description

As I was uploading this I had a strange sense that I was seeing a case of "deja vu" all over again. Queen Street, in the ancient heart of Dublin's north side, as it was in 1964. It is one of many streets that have changed utterly in the meantime.

Apart from corroberating how this part of Dublin has changed in recent decades, there was an interesting discussion today on the cars in this photo. Specifically, there seem to be several models which might've been more common in East Berlin than in North Dublin. Including Wartburg and DKW examples. There's an intruiging suggestion that the cars may have been used during filming of 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold' (1965) in which Smithfield doubled for Cold War Berlin. However the dates may not fully add-up. A nice thought though.....
