College Green, Dublin [between 1880-1900].

College Green is a three-sided square in the centre of Dublin with Trinity College (top of picture) on the east side, the Bank of Ireland (left) on the north side, and a row of large commercial buildings, many of them banks, on the south side. College Green is mentioned four times in Ulysses and Leopold Bloom carries a passbook from the College Green branch of the Bank of Ulster.

In the foreground a fourwheeler and a jaunting car are parked on a "hazard" in the middle of the green. Another group of cabs is parked on a second stand beyond equestrian statue of William of Orange (King Billy) which was blown up by Republicans in the 1930s. For another picture of College Green, see page 13.
