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!

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!
