    Given its the "Weekly News" perhaps it is not taken on the day? (just to be persnickety)

    At the time Larne had a booming incoming tourist trade as it was the gateway to the Glens of Antrim and with a variety of hotels. People from Belfast would go to Larne by train for days out but also there would be visitors on the ferries from Scotland on day trips - Stranraer was only 2 1/2 hours away. This explains the "Irish Souvenir Warehouse" branding which was aimed primarily at Scottish visitors.

    Welch's Irish Views. The Robert Welch photographs in Birmingham Central Library form part of the Sir Benjamin Stone Collection; acquired by Benjamin Stone between 1904 and 1906. Archives and Heritage Service hold more than 400 of his photos. Robert Welch, born in 1859, had a photographic studio in Belfast. Though he never married he had many friends who spoke of his helpfulness and generosity, he was described as a 'friend to all the world'. He died in 1936. Robert Welch travelled all over Ireland taking photos of the people and their way of life; he advertised himself as an 'ethnographer'. As a commercial photographer, he sold copies to many different organisations. His photos were used as postcards, as illustrations for travel books, and to accompany scientific lectures www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagena...

    I don't think it's Dungannon. It could be Donaghmore. Or Bellaghy.

    Here's Donaghmore from the other direction. I think the rooflines match, and they are consecutive numbers (which I know doesn't necessarily mean anything.)

    The shop on the right is an Emigration Agency. Maybe that'll help.
  • derangedlemur said:
    And there is a big cross at the top of the hill, so it is Donaghmore.
