According to Donegal Town Website: "The weighing of produce always took place on the Diamond in full view of the public. This was not just a chance arrangement. The same borough charter made it incumbent on the patentee to appoint a weight-master to ensure that all goods between buyer and seller be weighed, charging a halfpenny for every draught under a hundred-weight and a penny a draught for every hundredweight over that with the exception of potatoes which had to be weighed free of charge. There was an iron triangle which was a permanent fixture bedded into the ground on the Diamond and the scales were suspended from this. It was about six feet high. The scales and weights were kept in the yard, or shambles, behind the market hall and wheeled out to the Diamond on Market Day. Sam Glenn became lessee of the markets and Diamond in 1890..."

Sam Glenn in the 1901 Census - possibly one of the guys in the photo?

I was wrong about the shop letters above being the last letters of McGolrick . The proportions of the building wouldn't allow such a long name. It's more likely to be Margaret Craig..widow who has a William Kelly, baker, also living in her 4 windowed bakery

Eugene Franklin "Bubbles" Hargrave (July 15, 1892 – February 23, 1969) was an American catcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, and New York Yankees. He won the National League batting title in 1926 while playing for Cincinnati. Bubbles' younger brother, Pinky Hargrave, was also a major league catcher. I wonder who came up with those nicknames...

Shadows say we're looking more or less west.
Sharon Corbet said:
derangedlemur I think you're right - that looks like it could be Dun Laoghaire around the pier.
