    This is a fantastic photograph taken from the first floor of the Ulster Reform Club in Royal Avenue - the buildings to the left and right are still there although the building in the centre, at the corner of Castle Place and Donegall Place, formerly known as 'Gibson's Corner', has been replaced by a modern McDonald's. As the tram system wasn’t electrified until late 1905 – the first test took place in Sep 1905 and the system was officially opened on 5 Dec 1905 – this photo is most likely post-1905.

    Gerry Ward Thanks Gerry! Have amended date to "Circa 1906" and added "Gibson's Corner" as a tag... :)

    The Lennon Wylie site lists a Berlitz school in Belfast for the first time in 1907, at Royal Avenue, and has it moving to Wellington Place in 1910.

    I am pretty certain that is Belfast with what was Robinson Cleavers shop on the right hand side. And Donegall Place is the street in leading away.

    The correct name is SHARMAN D. NEILL "A retail business active since 1884 at Donegall Place, Belfast and at Edgware Rd, London from 1852 until c. 1880. In 1909 the firm was converted into a Ltd. Sharman Dermott Neill was a descendent of Robert Neill, who in partnership with Henry Gardner, advertised 'Telescopes' in 1810. Sharman D. Neill Ltd is still active at 7-9 Royal Avenue, Belfast" www.silvercollection.it/electroplatesilverNOP.html

    B-59 I see from your street view that the premises is now River Island, the Photo from Grafton Street two or three days of ago was also currently occupied by River Island!!

    The shop to the right, Thornton & Co, has a "Special Attentant for Ladies Body Belts", whatever they were. Thorntons were still in Donegall Place in 1929, but had a very different shopfront. Page 76 of this link. issuu.com/glenravel/docs/snapshots2
