City of Dublin Steam Packet Company

Eden Quay

Apparently they carried mail between Ireland and the UK from 1823 and 1930.

Their offices were on Eden Quay where there is still a company logo visible on the wall.

The Wikipedia page (at the time of writing 30.04.20) has some conflicting info so I dunno. And also a list of their ships!

Door Boy

Addition to brickwork at the top of the arch over a door. When photo was taken, all windows in the building were blocked with heavy fabric. It looked weird. Cute boy!
