    It was taken before 1908 ...see date on building www.google.ie/maps/@52.1381891,-8.2752926,3a,53.4y,102.73...

    I think it is before the 1899 provincial Bank, too, now the AIB.

    I think this image pre-dates the L_ROY_00062 image posted by Sharon Corbet - Note the differences in the facade of the large 12-bay block at the top of the square. In this image, the facade is fairly plain and the two bays at either end have old 6-over-6 Georgian sashes. In L_ROY_00062, the windows are all updated to one-pane-per sash, plaster hood mouldings have been placed over the windows in the central 4 bays and the 4 bays on the right, and a balustrade has been installed on top of the building at the right - that's still there (see Streetview provided by O Mac). Mannix's shop in the older image is replaced by O'Brien's in L_ROY_00062.

    On the far side of the square at right, we see Mannix and Smith, in Sharon's shot above we saw O'Brien and Eager. I think this one is earlier...

    On the Royal Welch Fusiliers website Fermoy is mentioned repeatedly. "On the 24th August 1887 the 2nd Battalion moved from Fermoy to Galway, finding detachments at Castlebar, Oughterard and Gort. On the 2nd Battalion leaving the following complimentary 'resolution'was received from the Magistrates of Fermoy:- "Resolved: that we the Magistrates assembled at Fermoy Petty Sessions, beg to record our unanimous approval of the conduct of the Royal Welch Fusiliers while stationed here for the past two years, their (sic) not being, to the best of our recollection, a civil case against them during that period, and that our clerk be directed to send a copy of this resolution to Col. Williamson, in command of the regiment. Signed Geo Montgomery, Chairman Fermoy Petty Sessions, 12th September 1887 From reading through their site it appears that they left in 1887 and went to Galway where they remained for some time. As I remember it the big open field behind became the grounds of the aerodrome that was attached to the camp and used up to quite recently. The mighty Munster team that beat the New Zealand All Blacks in 1978 trained on that field in the run up to the historic match.

    Swordscookie Hastily changing Welsh to Welch! And date to Circa 1887! Would you have the link to that website, please.
