  Looks about 1910, the PO has public phones, no cars though

• Niall McAuley said:

  A woman down the street is in an ankle length dress, earlier part of the date range, I'd say.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Hettie Mary J. Steel, Draper, in 1911

• John Spooner said:

  Probably taken after James McNeill left his job at the post office. and started his business at the Bridge End Bar
  

• Carol Maddock said:

  I thought Meta (Hettie's domestic) had a really rare name, maybe even a mistake or a nickname, but there are nearly 250 Metas in the census.

From East Avenue to Killarney in one leap?

  There is an East Avenue Road in Killarney now, but it is not on the 25" or the 1930s Cassini

• Niall McAuley said:

  The catalogue has an undigitized photo titled East Avenue Hall, showing band on stage, Killarney, Co. Kerry

• derangedlemur said:

  Is it the Jehovas, do you think, or just a random hall?

• derangedlemur said:

  Niall McAuley Just saw that as well, which suggests not a kingdom hall.

• Niall McAuley said:

  I see a reference saying this hall was where the cinema is now (and on the 1930s Cassini) in Google Books search.

Itinerant shearer with his belongings standing beside a bicycle ca. 1900

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  During the early years of sheep breeding in Australia, shearing was carried out by shepherds, assigned servants, Ticket of Leave men, and free labourers using blade shears. As the sheep industry expanded, more shearers were required. Although the demand had increased, the conditions had not, and shearers had to contend with terrible working conditions, very long hours and low pay. In 1888, Australia became the first country in the world have a complete shearing, at Dunlop Station, finished using machines. By 1915, most large Australian sheep station shearing sheds had machines that were powered by steam engines. Later, internal combustion engines powered machines until rural power supplies became available. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_shearer
