I think this is a tough challenge.

I've definitely seen it in the flesh. Now it's just a matter of cranking up the memory (which doesn't really work properly any more).
derangedlemur said:
It's weirdly ecumenical. The lodge is very C of I and the cross is empty, but the church itself looks RC, and the gateposts could be either.
derangedlemur said:
It seems to be attached to an ecclesiastical complex of some sort, for which reasom I'm inclined to think RC.

It's beside a load of limerick stuff in the catalogue

Nope, haven't got a clue;-)
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Swordscookie Well, that's a very direct answer! :)

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 .

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!!)

Foxglove said:
i cannot make out the names on the shops as the angle is too oblique , interesting shop sign/marker just left of centre

Looks like a courthouse at the top of the hill. Let's see if I can identify it before Sharon gets here...
