Dublin Castle, Dublin City
Former alley on grounds of Dublin Castle associated with the Garda Síochána, used at least into the 1960s, now roofed and converted for other use.
Another reference has been received by this project to an underground alley at Dublin Castle, the location of which has not yet been pinpointed.

My grandfather, Patrick Nolan, took over 700 glass negatives one hundred years ago. This is one of the 133 handball photographs he took.
