I dunno about an Ian Fleming connection, but James Joyce (no surprise I guess) mentions Moneypeny Corner in his Ulysses:
Five tallwhitehatted sandwichmen between Monypeny's corner and the slab where Wolfe Tone's statue was not, eeled themselves turning H. E. L. Y.'S and plodded back as they had come.
No walking advertisements or sandwich-board wearers to see here however. Although some of the view down South King Street is now (as per the obligatory street view) partially obscured by one of those "we'll pay for the bikes if you give us ad space" advertising hoardings.

I checked the 1901 Thoms Directory, and R.W. Monypeny is listed at 52 & 53 Grafton Street as a "designer and embroiderer of art needlework, and white wood depot". [White wood goods, anybody?]. Monypeny lived at 13 Anneley Park, Rathmines. Robert Forbes at 54 Grafton Street is described as a "photographic artist". And at 54/55 are our old friends Kapp and Peterson (Alfred and Charles respectively). Down South King Street, before the Gaiety Theatre is the Horse Shoe Bar at no. 51 - proprietor Francis Pryor.

I remember that corner, about thirty years later. Is it still deja vu if it is an earlier view of something you remember? -
beachcomber australia said:
Same day? See poster in Moneypeny's window and position of Forbes' blinds - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000168731 Love these J. J. Clarke candid photos. Is she preggers, or is that a 'bird in her birdcage' ? ;-)

very well taken as it gives a sense of the symmetry and architectural details and decorations.

The church in the photo is Marketkirche Goslar. The North Tower (Behind the tree) is 56m high (216 stairs) and is open for panoramic views.

phoenixesrose: Thanks a lot for identifying the church and giving us the other interesting information! I'll add the name of the church to the information in our photo database online. I think this town looks so lovely... /Anna B.

A nice 1970's image. I find it interesting that the adult male is also wearing "flares". Where I come from he would have been considered an old guy trying to look young.

Fascinating stuff... at first I thought the photo was taken in the 1930s, then I noticed the boy is wearing bell bottoms!

Great very 'Steptoe & Son' when the tv series ran?

Absolutely love this. Street photography at it's peak. "Oi, tinker. Fancy posing for a few minutes while I get set up and if you don't mind, put your best menacing face on?" . I could imagine doing that now with a couple of grands worth of stuff strapped to your back in the current climate?
