    Trying but failing to make witty remark about the third policeman. Three identical moustaches though. They could almost be brothers.

    Seems fairly unchanged: maps.google.com/maps?q=54.315,-7.406&ll=54.314521,-7....

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] The chap on the right has the most luxurious moustache!

    Skink74 Wow, it really is unchanged! Even the gabling and the archway are still there...

    Nope, haven't got a clue;-)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Well, that's a very direct answer! :)
  • Swordscookie said:
    Unless somebody is very familiar with the view I can't see this being easy. There are no shop names, posters or other manmade evidence to help. The one redeeming feature is that gap in the hills on the other side of town. The steep slope of the hill and the obvious valley in which the town is situated would indicate either a sea or riverside location but that doesn't count for much in a small island like ours.

    I am 99.9% sure that this is Downpatrick, County Down. Looking down English Street, from the hill with the cathedral, past the jail, into the town. The lovely old buildings are still there on the left. The notch on the far hillside is slightly hidden from street view by the present building at the bottom of the street - now the Down Arts Centre .
  • Vab2009 said:
    Sorry I have to zap off here for a while so I can't do anymore of the investigating :-( But at the bottom of the hill on the left are the offices of the Down Recorder newspaper which was estabished in 1836. What I am not sure of is if the building has been replaced since then (even though I have been in them - they do look old!!)

    I don't think they were there to protect him, more likely to harass, as this must be the radical campaigner for tenants rights. Very anti landlord, anti police.

    I have found a ref to Dr H., active during the Land Wars. I found the Limerick Leader article in 1955 which shows a facsimile of this photo and refs it to the United Ireland magazine of 1890.
