In the early years of the 20th century, Ireland was a place of conflict. In this interactive series, photographer David Cleary returns to locations captured on film a century ago and takes new photographs showing how those settings have changed - or not.
In this photo from the RTÉ Photographic Archive, taken on an unknown date during the War of Independence, British soldiers set up a barricade in Lincoln Place, Dublin. Children move sandbags under a lamppost to the left of shot. A man wheels a bicycle towards the camera. The premises visible include the Lincoln Café on the left and the Dental Hospital and Lawless hairdressers on the right.
