Hi,
I will try to explain  re last attachment first.
The two connecting structures,at end L-H-side, of Irish Products plant
are grain silos.For the animal feeds manufacturing process.
[I assume you mean?to the left of shot]
Your attachment shows the same stretch of Dodder riverbank,taken from the Liffey.
There were several rowing clubs with balconied boathouses and slipways,boat yards
between the Ringsend point and bridge.[in other images I have]
The cone shaped structure and chimney are the leadworks along Fitzwilliam street,behind the present day Library[ope'd 1938 located on the triangular piece of ground between Thomas st.& Fitzwilliam.[map]
This pic* shows that ,viewed from Irishtown rd.[formerly Thomas st.]but,at the right turn jct. Ringsend village as per map.
The OSI maps are still available but at this[Geohive]site.
http://map.geohive.ie/mapviewer.html
This shows the leadworks behind Tunneys cottages*
Atkinson's you mention have anything to do with the other bottle works
located on/off Cambridge Place?
It is worthwhile studying the 25'' map and scouting through the Thoms directory,Pembroke estate papers[the Verschoyle land-lessors/conveyors at UCD archive-online.]
In order to figure out the older[non-existent locations today]
*where I was born and my folks lived as well as on-off,Thorncastle side/streets..
'The past is another place'.
I will be collating all I have to put into a no profit,
 quatercentenary booklet.
For the anniversary[approx.]of the foundation of the village
[based on my research c.1620]
which I am donating to one St.Patrick's r.c.[of two]still extant rowing clubs
 [& Stella Maris r.c..]Still based there,and who win most every competion along the east coast,and have entered/won the longer distance rowing competitions,in present times,on the Thames.
*added in separate post below this one-as too large &tc.
So I am using a broad brush to paint its rich history.
Would appreciate any information you may have on the glass works aspect,
esp.the Hibernian works,but all others for that.. .
Thanks
breener.

Hi Alison,
Thanks for sharing the photo of them.
I did look through your posts for same.
On two threads,inc'this one.
My Gt.Gt.G/F was involved in the 1886
strike.And like you,I have only found records,
for same, at the Freemans Newspaper archive,and one other source,which is not of much addition.
Freeman's also gave  me an account of Tom Dunne's funeral,which saw huge numbers out on the quaysides,and across the city,on the route his cortege took to Glasnevin.
There were no photos unfortunately taken then.
I dont have the copies i got at the National Archives,here some years ago,
as they are gone to a restorer to copy-repair.
The Thorncastle str image you posed is the best known,and clearest image of it.
But there are others.
This 1st one from c.1880-90 shows Fishermans wharf,with Thorncastle to the right.
The chimney seen[above row of cottages there]shows the Ringsend Bottle Works plant at Fitzwilliam qy. The Hibernian works is to the extreme right out of view,but it gives some idea of the street back then.with gas lamp standard, at corner.
The 2nd  att.pic shows a ship berthed a the slipway,adjacent to the Hibernian Bottle works.again c.1880-90s when it was in operation.taken from a similar perspective to the 1940 one I posted earlier.[from 'Hatches Corner']as it was,and is yet called locally.
Photo 3.Shows the view towards the irish Products co.Hibernian works along the [then]York Rd.
After this it was taken over by the Hammond Lane foundry Co,who scrapped old shipping,and larger
things such as city buses &c[I have a photo,or two, from that era mid 70s onwards.
In this one you can still see some of the original stone walls of the glass works.
Last pic is an advert for the irish products, c.1942.from the Capuchin Archive-annual of that year.
PS I could not post all[too large]so will add in separate post below.three attached for now,fingers crossed.
