My grandfather was an inspector on the trams, but I have a feeling he started out as a conductor. A bit of a stretch, but it might even be him centre frame. Great photo.

In the foreground are white lines painted on the cobblestones, or they could be white stones set into the road. Is this a first for these old NLI photos?

Couldn't find any mention of the name Retz in the census for 1901 or 1911, but have found the phone number for George Retz, Pork Butcher, in the 1913 phone directory.

Talk about a small affair? What a tiny crowd at a market in a town in Ireland, there are barely 100 people in the whole square and there's not a whole lot of produce on sale either. The pile of clothes behind the young lad with the bit of a stick appear to be uniforms with bright metal buttons and there is little else for sale in evidence. Compare this with the shot of the market in Galway a couple of months back? I found this copy of the same image in colour on Google! www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&safe=active&sa=N&...

Cuddly Nutter Any of the businesses here still on the go? Duffy's, Moville Hotel? And I think shop second from left is Merger's! Is that a plausible name?

Thank you...

DannyM8 You're very welcome! That's the official February photo with dog, but will do my best to include more...

I think she's actually giving that horse some sort of gypsy curse or the evil eye or similar.

Lots of cars up the street.
