    Today is the 49th anniversary of the British Embassy burning. Tempus fugit.

    As the shop sign says "Royal Enfield Cycles", that's a retailer/repair shop for those motorbikes.

    James Cycle Co. on sign. I have no idea if that motorcycle is a James, but if it is, it is likely to be after 1904 ... "1904 saw the arrival of what was claimed to be the first ever loop frame that provided a sturdier mounting for what was now an F.N. engine." From - famousjamesmotorcycleclub.webs.com/history.htm

    Bernard McLaughlin, spirit dealer is in 1907 directory, not 1901.

    Looks like the local cycle shop. Signs for The James Cycle Co., Royal Enfield Cycles, Pratts motor spirit (not to be confused with Spratts dog cakes next door) and BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) with their three stacked rifles logo. The guy on the left reminds me of Sean Connery

    That yoke looks more like an "Autocycle" as distinct from a motor cycle Carol. There used to be a distinction between the two, a motorcycle was built to be motorised but an Autocycle was a bike with engine, usually a small 2 stroke mounted on the front wheel but occasionally driving the chain as in this one. But I could be all wrong - again;-)))

    Swordscookie A swift Google makes me think you're right! Hastily amending title and text, thank you!

    Niall McAuley Thanks Niall. Doesn't seem to be any sign of her in 1911. Interesting that her adult children are all just described as daughter/son of farmer and publican.

    Here's Ardmalin on the GeoHive 25" from 1900, I don't see an obvious match for this pub.
