I think it's Béal Átha (mouth of the ford) rather than Baile Na (town of the), so Mouth of the Ford of Crowds.

I'll bow to your greater knowledge on the subject:-) In my native place the Fairgreen which was still used up to the late '50's was also the place of public execution. It was contiguous to both the courts and the prison which probably helped!

I see 3 churches, the town hall and a school which are in the NIAH - but all are older than 1865, no help on dates.

Streetview

Aha, I think this is at the early end of the date range. We should see the gable of this building, the former Sisters of Mercy convent, behind the left end of the town hall, and we don't, we see a different building. The NIAH dates it to roughly 1860, but gives a wide range, meaning they aren't very sure.

Pistol or light meter (see catalogue)??

Here is Sir William in shooting garb "ca. 1914" - NB different tie and shirt collar, so not likely to be the same day - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523131

Robert Riddell thank you.

Medical Hall is still there, the Irish House on corner replaced by AIB, could be dated goo.gl/maps/sji3eN5RoqtBnfXU8

We have visited before, but after - Edit - Ooops! Different corner ... to the right of today's.

Reverse view in CAB 8297 there is in view a cycle shop with a Pratt's Motor Spirit sign. So early motoring 1900-1905.
