CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
The car in the central background with split windscreen and the one one the right side (headlights) are clues. More obvious than uniform collars.

CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY You may be right but cars could be around for 30 years whereas the collars changed on a specific date and thereafter the Gardai had an open revere to their tunic with a collar and tie!

An easy streetview: goo.gl/maps/oAnS3FjLQi9Rx5oC7 This might be a controversial opinion, but I think the trees detract from the O'Connell Street streetscape. And here's some more info about the building: www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/50010... Prominently situated on the corner of O’Connell Street Lower and Lower Abbey Street, this bank building was built in 1916-19 by Ralph Byrne after the destruction of the Easter Rising. C.W. Harrison & Sons executed the elaborate carvings. Nos.12-13 were acquired by Irish Permanent Building Society from the Hibernian Bank in the 1950s.

George FitzPatrick It is a Triumph 1300 (1965 - 1970) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_1300 Surprised - "...The Triumph 1300 has a following today in the UK classic car movement, though some parts are now scarce and the number of surviving cars not especially high."

Every picture tells a story......As a young lad I helped deliver beer and minerals around this town in the fifties. Ger's Coffee Shop was known as Minni Allens's Foodstore then. I was once crossing the street with a wooden crate of empty bottles near where the Garda is standing in this picture. The arse fell out of the crate and much to the amusement of the passers by, nearly three dozen of bottles rolled all the way down the street. Took me ages to pick them all up again lol.

DannyM8 Promise a doggy picture in the next week or so!

corncrake68 You'd probably have had more help if they hadn't been empty! Would you please mind adding a note on the photo at Ger's Coffee Shop to say it used be Minni Allens? And were any of the other businesses in the older Belturbet shot still on the go in the 50s - Devines, etc.?
