Streetview - goo.gl/maps/6vV1GDizJj4E4ReN6 - it looks like all the buildings are still the same!

man leans against wall outside cycle repair shop, another Flann O'Brien half truth. the butchers animal display is fabulous, I remember as a child making straw castles from the wood shaving on the floor, shouting up under the cattle and pig carcasses, pulling the ligaments on chicken feet to make the toes work ; Tescos is not such fun, aye we knew how to get around the boredom then 😉

the road has covered/ culvert drains which finish and open on the right and left sides of the road into an open cobbled drain

I had a look at the 1901 census for Greville Street to find that ALL of the premises on both sides were owned by Lord Greville!!

At right, a Fire Escape Station lamp post. The ladder is against the wall of the church, behind the railings.

There's a Cabinet plate five minutes later at 16:48 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334458

And a reverse-ish view, different day(?) with a woman selling apples (hopefully not horse apples!) - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000321073

The Robert Emmet stone isn't there yet ... In 1969 and thirteen years ago

Edit: That tablet was "ERECTED BY THE THOMAS MOORE SOCIETY 1953”, so no help with dating. See -

A wonderful image from a fantastic set. Probably my favourite. Thank you for sharing these. Don't wish to sound critical, but is it me or has this been digitised slightly off-square? -- Seen in a discussion of the group "Flickr Commons" (?)

I had thought from a search of this address on Google Maps / Streetview that it looked like the whole of this side of the street had been redeveloped now, but I had a browse around up and down the street and next to the new block stumbled across this exact same building, as it is today. It's now an antique shop.

Many of the Atget prints in our collection show angled edges that make the images appear as if they were digitized somewhat off center. This trimming was either done by Atget or someone else before they came into the collection at GEH. I asked around this morning and it is not common to see albumen prints with these angled edges, however it is common to most of the Atget prints in our collection. I sent out an email to a colleague in Paris who has the definitive Atget collection and asked if their prints show the same edges. I will share the information when I get a response. Thanks for the question!

Jessica, fascinating response, and it explains why it looks that way. Look forward to hearing more from Paris.

Just as an aside, one of my colleagues who is French may be in Rouen this weekend and he was thinking of going to see this building. I also emailed the owner of the art gallery that can now be found there, but have had no response as yet.
