You have a location problem - you seem to think this is a shot from Lennoxvalle looking at the Malone Road. It is a shot looking into Lennoxvale. Gary,

Your flats didn’t replace the red brick building. You have a location problem – you seem to think this is a shot from Lennoxvalle looking at the Malone Road. It is a shot looking into Lennoxvale.

You can see the modern flats that have replaced the redbrick building on Google Streetview here: http://tinyurl.com/6ymcq9x The postbox has moved- the view from the main road is towards the street from which the pic was taken.

I remember watching the BBC documentary wherein they talk about the famous red skirts Irish lasses wore at the time. Nice to see more examples of this. I wonder if this otherworldly shade of red comes as a result of the potato starch pigment in the autochromes or if they are really a testament to that long-forgotten textile tradition. Also, Retronaut is it possible for you to track down larger hi-res images of that of those color photos from the 1906 San Fran Great Quake?
