If anyone would like to walk back in time and visit early Victorian Dublin, all you need to do is go to Sweny's Chemist in Lincoln Place.
The historical pharmacy featured in James Joyce’s Ulysses and has attracted many tourists over the years.
French President Emmanuel Macron even paid a visit there when he visited Ireland last summer, and part of Ulysses was read to him in French.
PJ Murphy now runs Sweny's Chemist and has kept it exactly as it was, with prescriptions over 100 years old still there awaiting collection.
He told Dublin Live: "When I came into the chemist, everything we found was authentic and we didn't need to add anything on. The interior is exactly as it would have been, the fixtures and fittings and also all of the bottles that would have been around the place.
"We also found prescriptions which were never collected, these predate 1903. Of course, all of them are herbal.
"So we have them in a drawer. They would have been ordered and then wrapped up in brown paper and string.
"The people who ordered them never came back so they're still awaiting collection."
The prescriptions haven't been tampered with and remain in their original packaging.
PJ said: "When we found them we didn't open them, we just left them as they were. Many people who come here, particularly chemists are always intrigued because the same thing happens to them as well.
"Willowbark was used for headaches. If you had a headache, you came, you took a piece of this and infused it into boiling water.
"Valerian would help you to sleep. There were many other herbal packages like this in the drawers.
"The chemist was also a place where you could buy your own film and of course you'd bring the film back."
Some photographs were also never collected and are still stored in the chemist.
"Young enthusiasts took away the negatives that we had in the drawer and developed them into black and white."
"We had many nurses, because there were many hospitals around here. They would come and take pictures of themselves and we had pictures of groups of nurses.
"A lady came in and I was showing her these pictures and she said 'oh, I recognise that girl, I worked with her in the hospital'.
"She took the photograph away and brought it back a few days later having shown it to the lady (in the photograph).
"After all these years she saw the pictures that had been developed for her here but never collected."
The chemist is featured in James Joyce's Ulysses, so people from across the globe come to visit.
"People from all over the world come to see the place if they're interested in Joyce or if they're chemists they come anyway.
"They can buy their lemon soap from us and they can also walk back into the past in early Victorian Dublin. All around here, it still reflects that period. Nothing really has changed.
"We have Trinity College just in front of us and then we have the pub mentioned in chapter four in 1904, which was called Conway's but is Kennedy's now."
"It's nice to know that when you come in here, you're walking back into the past. You're grasping what early Victorian Dublin was like and even looking out, you're looking at how it would have been seen because nothing has changed."
