Peter North Bar and Shelbourne Bar. Thorncastle St. / Bridge St., Ringsend Village. Dublin 1963.

The glistening, rain-slicked intersection of Thorncastle and Bridge Streets in Dublin’s Ringsend Village on an overcast day in 1963. A row of brick buildings houses various businesses, including the Peter North wine and spirits merchant and the prominent, white-and-black facade of Hugh McDermott’s Shelbourne Bar. Pedestrians in period attire navigate the wet pavement, some crossing the street while others converse near a parked motor scooter. A dark sedan and numerous television antennas on the rooftops define the mid-century urban scene.
