St. Nicholas' Church, Galway, 1890(?)

    Think this is a little later than the Egg and Foul Market given the growth in the tree on the right. But not much. Egg and Fowl is circa 1905 so I would say 1906 or 07 at 12.12 PM some day
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 Well, circa 1905 on the Egg and Fowl Market was speculative... Never firmly established.
  • DannyM8 said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Understand that. But think this is a little older
  • DannyM8 said:
    Think this might be the Egg and Fowl Market also?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 Deffo geese, etc. lying on the ground...

    Such an unusual shot for a film photograph? It is quite different in its approach and composition to most and very interesting for that reason. I was visiting Galway a lot around then but was more interested in rivers and rugby pitches so I can't help with Mullins but the boy reminds me of myself just a few years earlier.

    A butchers shop, I think - so the kid is dreaming of mince. A look at Google maps shows that the building is intact but painted a startling lime green - and home to a creperie called Zatsuma. A creperie in Galway City. Who'd have guessed that in 1964?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Lord Mince, eh? That's what I get for stereotyping children - thinking of a sweet tooth instead of carnivorous tendencies...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    This is as close as I can get in Streetview.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Oh don't talk to me! Spent a good 5 minutes trying to get the same view - slithering up and down Shop Street, muttering ominously that if Mr O'Dea could do it, then so could I. Shamefacedly gave up, but I am bloodied but unbowed. Virtual sticky bun (hot from the wholly imaginary NLI oven) for anyone who can get the same view in Streetview...

    We had this place before
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 Where was it?
  • DannyM8 said:
    Was it Limerick ?
  • DannyM8 said:
    No Galway
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 Excellent, Danny, that's what I thought. In fact, we've been at this market more than once...

    I passed by here about 10 days ago. Not much different apart from the influx of crusty types.
  • Robin Parkes said:
    I see the spire is roofed in copper compared to slates in the older photo.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Thanks Robin Parkes Robin. Hadn't noticed that. As usual, once there's a clock, that's my focus. It may be an illness!
  • victor98_2001 said:
    excellent shot
  • oaktree_brian_1976 said:
    Is that the same tree a hundred years later? Not as big as I thought it would be...
