    Looks a bit like Kinsale. Let us consult Streetview. Edit: Maybe not - there's no bridge.

    Galway, I think. Yes, in this Bing aerial view I see the church tower, the bridge, and the building with the tower across the river.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think the photographer is up on st. Nicholas's church.
    St. Nicholas' Church, Galway, 1890(?)
    See the ivy covered ruined wall in the foreground? No ivy today

    The building Mr. Hart was in is gone, but the 3 storey building two doors to the right is still there, and in slightly better nick today, so Hart is on Market Street (streetview links fixed, I hope).

    In the distance, I see trusses of the railway viaduct. The Galway to Clifden line was started in 1890, opened in 1895.

    Could be. There's not much left of the houses in the picture.

    Robert French would have taken the photograph from the two story house on the right. The window frame on the Lynch building can be seen in bottom right www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/22844068380/in/photolist-...

    This is one of Galway’s great stories. It is said that in 1493, the mayor and magistrate of Galway James Lynch FitzStephen, hanged his own son from the window of his home. Lynch's son confessed to have murdered a man, a Spanish merchant sailor in the care of the family who had romanced his girlfriend. When no one could be found to carry out the execution, Judge Lynch hanged (or lynched as the practice became known around the world after this event) his son himself, ensuring that justice prevailed, before retiring into seclusion. The memorial is now embedded in stone above a Gothic doorway on Market Street near the graveyard at St. Nicholas’s Church. www.activeme.ie/guides/attractions-2/lynchs-memorial-wind...

    I see Sat 9th November on one poster. (edited) Could the Yes gag be a reference to the EEC referendum? It was opposed by Labour (Dr. Noel Browne was a Labour TD at the time). Maybe not - that date was a Sat in 1968 and then 1974.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    There are several doorways a bit like this one on Hume street, but I don't see an exact match, I suspect this building has been rebuilt since.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    There were two referenda on 16th October 1968, both rejected, concerning FPTP voting and constituencies.
