derangedlemur Wonder did he win prizes later than 1896, or was he still living on the glory for a few years? (These Eason photos date from 1900 onwards...)

From some relation or other "Undated photo showing Clarke's Sale Rooms, Drogheda, Co. Louth (on the roof to the right). Eugene Clarke, draper (my great grandfather) started the business and had premises on Shop Street and West Street. One of his sons James Bernard Clarke ran the business until 1905 when he emigrated to New Jersey with his wife and 6 children." www.facebook.com/freeirishgenealogyebooks/timeline?filter... (it's the same pic, btw) It still says Clarke on the front as well as the roof so I guess it's pre-1905 (though it's J. A. as opposed to J. B.).

💡Aha! Mr French / Lawrence took another Imperial photo a little to the right, showing another paddle steamer, the 'Kathleen Mavourneen' (1885 - 1902), earliest and latest dates so far? L_IMP_3824 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000327017 WIki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_Kathleen_Mavourneen_(1885) "... a paddle steamer passenger vessel operated by the Drogheda Steam Packet Company from 1855[typo for 1885?} to 1902 and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway from 1902 to 1903. ..." And there is a reverse view with more clues - L_IMP_3826 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000191729

Quite the industrial zone: on the 25" there is the Vitriol and Manure works, next the gasworks (I see a gasometer), then St. Mary's Mills (Spinning and weaving), then a Brewery and finally an iron works. All replaced by Scotch Hall shopping centre and carpark now.

St. Mary's Catholic Church above the word Manure was completed in 1889 per the NIAH.

The sky detail is usually removed from these pictures to allow them to be used as postcards, but the quality of work in this picture is very poor. Chect out around the bell tower and along the roofline.

This Eason shot is a lot later (1910ish):

Curtis the pawnbroker and his shop are mentioned in the Freeman's (March 2 1894) report of The Meath Murder trial (Warning: contains the word 'bosom')
James Curtis, pawnbroker, Drogheda, deposed that the shirt (produced) was pawned in his establishment by a man who gave the name of Gallagher. He believed the prisoner was the man.
