Step back in time: Here's how Dublin used to look

The postcards capture what life was like in Dublin all those years ago.

LAST WEEK WE brought you old postcards that feature scenes from around the country from Cork to Donegal.

The postcards are all part of the Eclectic Collection that is going up for auction today at Whyte’s Auction House in Dublin.

The lots range from about €50-€150 and include great images of old Dublin and how it used to be.

Has it changed much? Take a look.
