    The 1901 Census has Albert Twomey, Baker and Grocer, at 102 Shandon St. As does the 1911 Census. Meanwhile, there's a Denis J. Murphy, publican U.D.C. at 104 in 1901, whereas it's Kate Seehan, shopkeeper in 1911. So probably before 1911?

    No luck on 102-104 in the DIA or NIAH.

The West End is definitely the place to go ... in Mallow!

    Streetview. While there is still a West End in Mallow, this is actually Main or Davis St., as noted by the photographer doing the Lawrence Photographic Project in 1990. The lack of statue in Lawrence's photo, dates it to pre. 1907 as that's when J.J. Fitzgerald was added.

    Rafferty's Drapery in the 1901 Census.

    The posters at left look promising... Almost legible. Hay auctions, apparently. Lower one may say GREENHILL AUCTION HAY THURSDAY mumble AUG 21 TONS The smaller poster board on the ground at left is for the Cork Examiner. Bottom headline something like BUNTING DISASTERS Top headline could be CONNECTION TO THE POPE Per wikipedia: Pius X's traditional coronation took place on the following Sunday, 9 August 1903 and on 1903-08-11, the Examiner had a story called CORONATION OF THE POPE There is also a BOATING DISASTER story, on the 11th! I think we have a match! Tuesday August 11th 1903. Someone with a newspaper subscription [ahem] might look at the other headlines that day, and see if any match the less legible lines here. Another possibility: I think that BOATING story is plural DISASTERS - was there a weekly edition on Saturday which might have covered the DISASTERS on the 11th and 14th, as well as the Pope? If so, it may be Saturday 15th of August, 1903

    hockadilly ¬¬Lindisfarne Ciarán Cooney [https://www.flickr.com/photos/127852506@N06] Thank you all for your visits and nice comments. We cannot hope to equal Carol's wit and wisdom and we certainly don't look as good but we will do our best and hopefully we will have fun again while sharing the wonderful collection of photographs in the NLI archives.

    The keyboards suggest that these are the type-setting machines (Monotypes or Linotypes).
