    Quite a long exposure by the looks of it. Another auction poster on the church gate. The church has a sort of C of I look about it, which might help narrowing the search down.

    There is a Blackhall a retired Grocer in Mountbellew in 1911 www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Mount_Be...

    I've done a quick streetview of all the Blackall locations form the census and there's nothing like this. It seems to be a church attached to an ecclesiastical ruin of some sort - maybe an abbey or maybe just an older church.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Is the auction poster on the arch legible if you stick the negative into a microfiche reader?

    CARLING, GILL & CARLING were at 59 & 60 High St. Guildford. In 1842 Thomas Gill took over Thomas Trimmer’s business (which was originally established in 1795). By 1895 the firm had become known as Carling, Gill & Carling. Like many ironmongers, the business sold a vast range of goods, such as household items and agricultural equipment. It was also contracting as gas and water engineers, tinsmiths and whitesmiths and even bell hangers. They had several premises in Guildford as well as a branch in Godalming later on. The company went into liquidation in 1937. Also, evidence here of a Henekeys at 58 High St. Guildford.

    Question please: why the writing at the bottom is reversed?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    TJ It's a glass plate negative. If you look at any of our Lawrence photos (or images from many of our other collections), you'll see the same thing...

    The establishment on the right looks like H C Perry & Son, but amongst those present at the 1896 Licensed Grocers and Vintners' Association's Annual Meeting (as reported in Freeman's) were "Edrwd Irwin Campbell, R Crawford (R Perry & Son, Rathdowney)" [edit] Must be different Perry - in 1878 Mr. Robinson Perry of Rathdowney was described in the Belfast News-letter as Secretary of the Provincial Brewers Association.

    Raglan Cycles: 1896 The company was registered on 4 December, to take over the businesses of Taylor, Cooper and Bednell and the Anti-Friction Ball Co
  • derangedlemur said:
    They built a 2hp motorcycle and forecar from 1902-1903, yet ultimately concentrated on cycle production throughout which lasted until around 1906. So you've got a date range of 1896 - 1906 (plus however long it takes to remove a sign - 20 years?).
