cokehat

hmm with this size of a house, I think it would be called Bed and Breakfast nowadays!

It's a lovely old picture, thank you for sharing.

Do we know if this is Cork or Antrim?

derangedlemur Oops, sorry! Antrim now added to description (though it is in the tags)

FrigateRN You're very welcome, Colin! :)

Probably were under instruction to keep still for a minute or so.

Now those two ladies look suspiciously like mother and daughter, so could this be the propietor's family posing for an all-important publicity post-card? Sunday clothes, mother to anwer to if they don't get it right..... it's no wonder the poor things look wooden. And, Oh I do hope father didn't step on his nice new billy-cock hat when he got up!

Well, I guess Michiel2005 is right, posing for a while didn't exactly make for spontaneous snapshots, but maybe you're right too Jack Falstaff. Maybe they weren't resting tourists! And thanks for billycock! Didn't know that was what these hats were called. Apparently also bombín in Spanish speaking parts...

You're welcome, Carol. It was also known as a Derby in the USA, but more generally in the UK (when Jack was a lad, which is a long time ago) as a Bowler (after the name of the original makers) and,much more rarely if memory serves, as a Coke Hat (because it was created in the mid-nineteenth century for Edward Coke, brother of the Earl of Leicester).

Charming scene would be great foe a publicity shot.

The pawnbroker's globes are looking a bit squashed.

C. 1910: I hadn't realised the defilement of our built heritage with pebbledash had set in that long ago.

Signs on doorway to left of car read BSA Bicycles.
According to Wikipedia, BSA made bicycles from 1880 to 1887, and then again from 1908 onwards. So given the car there, this would be after 1908.
