There was a barricade across the street in front of the Hotel at one point, see pictures here at Limerick City Museum from the Illustrated London News, Saturday 29 July 1922
Niall McAuley said:
The caption from one of those images, very similar to this one: WITH CAPTAIN HANNON, ONE OF THE WOUNDED.
Niall McAuley said:
I don't think the cheeky chappie wounded in this one is Captain Hannon though, the Captain looks to be taller and more elegant.
Niall McAuley said:
From the blurb for the book The Battle for Limerick City: The opening shots of the Irish Civil War in Limerick city were fired on 11 July 1922. The city was of vital strategic importance in the fight for control of the newly independent Ireland, and both Free State and republican troops were determined to secure the city for their respective causes. At the outset the republicans controlled the citys four military barracks and Thomond and Sarsfield bridges. The Free State forces held the custom house, Limerick prison, the courthouse, William Street RIC barracks and Cruises Hotel. Battle lines were drawn and over the course of the following two weeks, fighting raged throughout the city until superior numbers and arms gave victory to the Free State army.

Niall McAuley Definitely not Captain Hannon! So July in 1922 then, thanks Niall. (Still trying to have a proper look at the Illustrated London News photo, but our interweb is playing up today)

Georges St., Limerick now known as O'Connell St

Cruise's Royal Hotel had an advert in Freeman's July 27 1891, saying it had "A Commercial Room exclusively for Commercial Gentlemen" and "A Ladies' Coffee Room"
Niall McAuley said:
I'm thinking a bit earlier than 1900: no motorcars, no bicycles, no straw boaters...
John Spooner said:
Advert in Freeman's February 18, 1885. Word of the day: "superintendence"
CRUISE'S ROYAL HOTEL, LIMERICK
This old-established and well-known Hotel is now under the sole superintendence of the proprietor,and affords every accommodation to commercial gentlemen and tourists. The whole internal arrangements have been remodelled. The sanitary arrangements have been carefully looked after under the superintendence of an eminent engineer.
Hot, cold, and shower baths.
Omnibus meets all trains and steamers.
JAMES FLYNN, Proprietor

You wouldn't expect cars in 1900 but the lack of bicycles is surprising.

J&K Walsh at #11 is still there in Streetview. The café was Guiney's as of 2009.

There's an alternative view - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000594720 . Signs in the windows seem to promote Buy Irish Week sponsored by the Irish Press.

The signs by the open door to #8 are for Charles S. Quinlan, solicitor. Who seemingly commissioned other images from Poole. Like this one of the aftermath of a fire. Which may have been business/client related.
John A. Coffey said:
Niall McAuley - I was in J&k Walsh public house not long before it closed, Mr.Walsh was blind, he also lived alone on the premises, he knew every inch of his shop by touch.
