    The Guildhall was opened in July 1890. The clock has not been installed at the time of this photo. Google Street View

    Everyone very well dressed. No barefoot urchins about.
  • Gerry Ward said:
    The Guildhall Clock was installed in 1891.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Gerry Ward Aha, thanks Gerry! So then 1890 is looking correct for this photo: a) absence of clock; and b) flags in celebration of the opening?
  • Swordscookie said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons It's donkeys years since I was in Derry and I'm amazed at the steepness of the street there. It either was or had just stopped raining. Most of the flags are either meaningless or displayed out of their natural environment.

    This is the present day view, courtesy of Google Streetview. Here is the German Wikipedia article. The bridge dates from 1855. A fire in 1915 damaged the partly wooden bridge and the repair costs in subsequent years caused the bridge to be replaced in the 1930s.

    yeah back then I think the bulk of eastern europe was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
  • oaktree_brian_1976 said:
    Brucke is German for bridge, and Kaiserin Elizabeth would be Empress Elisabeth, this lady: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_of_Bavaria "Her murder by an anarchist in Geneva, Switzerland in 1898 ended the life of a woman who has since become known as an enigmatic and tragic figure."
  • oaktree_brian_1976 said:
    It connects (or did connect) to a castle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Schloss_Tetschen_1855.jpg

    The scales are marked on the 25" OSI Map as "W.M." (Weighing Machine.)
  • O Mac said:
    Francis McGolrick... Baker census 1901 and McGoldrick..with the "d" census 1911
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    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
