The Guildhall was opened in July 1890. The clock has not been installed at the time of this photo. Google Street View

Everyone very well dressed. No barefoot urchins about.

The Guildhall Clock was installed in 1891.

Gerry Ward Aha, thanks Gerry! So then 1890 is looking correct for this photo: a) absence of clock; and b) flags in celebration of the opening?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons It's donkeys years since I was in Derry and I'm amazed at the steepness of the street there. It either was or had just stopped raining. Most of the flags are either meaningless or displayed out of their natural environment.

It really does make it look as though the city ends there. It's very different today. goo.gl/maps/z9B3kNGDCB12

From the Church of Ireland wiki - "...The tower houses six bells, three of which are Ireland's oldest bells, dating from 1423. The bells were rung for the Angelus and after the Reformation continued to be rung every morning and evening to call the people to and from their work. Due to the fragile state of the tower they were not rung between 1898 and 1983 [ie at the time of this photo]. After the tower was strengthened the bells were retuned in 1983. One of them, the tenor, was recast in memory of Alexander E. Donovan (1908-1982), who was closely connected with the church. They are now rung every week.... "
