Grand Canal, Dublin 2.

The Grand Canal looks resplendent in Autumn colours, it immediately brings to mind Paddy Kavanagh’s poem ‘Lines Written on a Seat on the Grand Canal, Dublin‘…

My restored and colourised photo taken on June 16 1954, the first Bloomsday, featuring poets Patrick Kavanagh & Anthony Cronin at the church – and Goggin’s pub – in Monkstown [County Dublin] with the carriage in which they’d been traveling about Dublin in the footsteps of Leopold Bloom, the main protagonist in James Joyce’s novel Ulysses.

Serv writes:
Are Irish waterways proud of their old style canal banks? Patrick Kavanagh’s oasis of grassy banks is a bomb site. All so Bank of Ireland workers can have a curry for lunch…
To which James Heron (see comments) responded:
The bank looks like that because there were works done on the lock gates recently, nothing to do with the market, I think the market is a great idea, in fairness.
Update:
Serv responds:
[Photographed] pre-market. Works done me hoop…
