Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire.
Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire.
The Royal Marine Hotel was originally Hayes Hotel and the initial plans were to build a completely new hotel. The entire venture was affected by financial constraints and in 1867 the hotel company collapsed. The original plans had to be scaled down vastly but the hotel was completed. The building was re-roofed around 1960 and as a result, the French pavilions and Victorian tower were removed. Another feature of the hotel was its magnificent gardens, visible in the postcard. Development has continued around the hotel since the 1970s and includes shopping centres and various car parks as well as apartment blocks. This postcard presents us with a clear example of the continuous struggle between development and historical preservation.

Tyler’s Boots Advertisement
The postcard shows Kingstown from the East Pier. It features a crest advertising Tyler’s boots. They had a shop in Kingstown on Upper George’s Street dating from 1881 when it was called Amies and Tyler Boot and Shoe Warehouse. This became just Tyler and Sons after a couple of years. The advertisers were depending on the popularity of postcards to spread the message ‘Tyler’s boot are the best’.

Good wishes from Dun Laoghaire.
Three views of Dun Laoghaire contained within a shamrock in black and white. The postcard dates from the 1960s and features the Pavilion and promenade, the Mail boat and Dun Laoghaire bay.
