Donnelley’s Coal, Dublin 1963

On a cobbled street at Donnelley's Coal Wharf in Dublin, 1963, a flatbed truck is heavily laden with burlap sacks. As the vehicle pulls away, a young boy hitches a ride on the very back, holding onto the load for support. Prominent signage on the surrounding brick buildings identifies the business as "THE HOUSE FOR HOUSE COALS". In the background, the lattice boom of a large crane rises into the overcast sky, indicating the bustling activity of the dockside location.
