I see a dog beside a shop on the left.

wide, generous pavement with pavers, sets and stone herbs. I think I can see the dog, is it curled/ sitting by the shop door ( I am using a small screen today). Children are shod

shop, "best prices for hides and skins" ,another trade that disappeared off the high street?

Can anyone identify which street?

See previous dating comments etc on this rectangular image of the square - The hideous telegraph/telephone poles in all these Eason street and crossroad photos keep catching my attention. Was he on a commission to record them c. 1915 ?

May as well have the streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@53.6240797,-9.2223343,3a,45.9y,299.58...

Bermingham is there in 1901: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_... As a youthful GP, though. He's selling tea and stuff in bottles in this image.

P O'Connor is 37 in 1901. Could conceivably be the chap in the doorway.

Margaret O'Keefe, on the other hand, is not in Ballinrobe in 1901.

"GRAPE-NUTS" - sign inside the GROCER's building on the left - what an odd building tacked on to a bigger one (see streetview). Evidently "developed in 1897" according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape-Nuts

“is that Timmy against the wall its looks very like him and he is about the right age”

Much changed, and not for the better, should provide an end date

Not the same building, the replacement from 1930

Suck Diesel No disrespect to the replacement 1930 building, but why the replacement?!

17. The Town Hall
The present town hall was built in 1926 on the site of the one destroyed by fire on 28 September 1920, in reprisal for the capture of Mallow Barracks. Prior to the first Town Hall a drapery business was conducted on the site by Mr. Rafferty, from whom it was purchased by the Urban District Council.

18. Fitzgerald Monument
Erected by public subscription at a cost of £375 to the memory of John Joseph Fitzgerald.
It was unveiled by Wm O'Brien on October 13th 1907. John Joseph Fitzgerald (1872-1906) was born in Shortcastle and became a teacher at the Patrician Academy. He was the first Chairman of Mallow Urban District Council and was also a member of Cork County Council.

O Mac Owen, Tempus fugit! Your bun is on its way to you via the broadband network, as we speak, enjoy.

O Mac It is interesting to see so much new building from the older photo to todays photo. Georgian Dublin was disappearing well before the 1950/1960's.

Can't quite see "Wales" in megazoom. Might imply this is before 1901 when Queen Victoria died.
