May as well have a spot of streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@54.1200004,-7.6770669,3a,48.8y,352.49...

"Adam Eves" - now there's an original name !

It's not where the OSI says the post office is, though: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,621160,819163,11,9

Even on the megazoom, I can't see anything to suggest that this used to be a police station, aside from the fact that it plainly looks like one.

derangedlemur Looks like this was once the RIC barracks?

This is likely a photo of the Cavan football team at the time of their Gaelic football match against Leitrim in 1914. The New York Times reported the match as part of the Fifteenth Annual Games of Local 20, International Union of Steam and Operating Engineers, held at Celtic Park (Queens) on Sunday, July 26, 1914. The next photo in the LOC stream, captioned "Leitrim football (soccer) teams (LOC)" depicts the Leitrim team photographed at the same time. In the background of the Cavan team photo (above) is a Leitrim player in a striped LYM shirt, looking on.  

How do other people feel about looking at photographs from the distant past when you know everyone has long since passed away? For some reason old sport team pictures really bring a sense of my own mortality to the forefront of my consciousness. Life is precious and only temporary.

Is it certain this is a soccer team and not a Gaelic football ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic_football ) team? There are too many players for it to be soccer.

There are fifteen players in the photo which is the number of players on a Gaelic football team team ???

Every picture tells a story......As a young lad I helped deliver beer and minerals around this town in the fifties. Ger's Coffee Shop was known as Minni Allens's Foodstore then. I was once crossing the street with a wooden crate of empty bottles near where the Garda is standing in this picture. The arse fell out of the crate and much to the amusement of the passers by, nearly three dozen of bottles rolled all the way down the street. Took me ages to pick them all up again lol.

DannyM8 Promise a doggy picture in the next week or so!

corncrake68 You'd probably have had more help if they hadn't been empty! Would you please mind adding a note on the photo at Ger's Coffee Shop to say it used be Minni Allens? And were any of the other businesses in the older Belturbet shot still on the go in the 50s - Devines, etc.?

Wow!
