The aftermath of the Fenian St tenement collapse of June 1963. Dublin 1963.

The aftermath of the Fenian Street tenement collapse in Dublin, June 1963. A huge pile of rubble, consisting of splintered wood, broken bricks, and furniture fragments, dominates the scene. Atop a crumbling wall, a worker is silhouetted against the sky, wielding a pickaxe to dismantle what remains. The collapse has sheared away part of an adjacent building, exposing an interior wall with its faded, patterned wallpaper, while a surviving dairy shopfront is visible to the left.
