Seems to be a mix of Populars and Anglias, or else Anglias of different vintages.

I'm unfamiliar with Cork but that looks like old Ford Factory in the background (& on the far bank of the Lee). So that would make it (unsurprisingly) the goods yard alongside Horgan's Quay

Streetview from Horgan's Quay across the Lee. The OSI maps show there used to be Travelling Cranes here as seen in the background. The cars are most likely being loaded for transport to Dublin.

On their way to the real capitol!

The first family car I remember was a Ford Anglia, but it was an estate, so not one of these actual cars.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/] Yes, both Ford and Dunlop were across the river. The map arcg.is/0ea0La0 shows a siding leading to Ford, but don't know how that would connect to the station

suckindeesel the railway lines were connected at street level, but I don't know if Ford sent cars that way flic.kr/p/amymNE
