But Monday only fell on 27th June in the following years within the date range above. 1909,1921,1927,1932 and 1938

I think you have your calendars confused - 1910 gives us a Monday 27th June & a Tuesday 12th July AND it was the year that Edward VII died (May 6th) explaining the film entitled “King’s Funeral”.

As regards films, I can find the following - Rajah’s Casket (1906); The Brigand’s Daughter (1907). So I think it must likely that we are in 1910. Probably late June or early July.

I didn't see the man with a bucket at first ...

I wonder what the connection between North Kildare and Old Calabar is. Depending on how up to date they were, the use of Old Calabar instead of Calabar could place it at pre-1906.

The scales are marked on the 25" OSI Map as "W.M." (Weighing Machine.)

Francis McGolrick... Baker census 1901 and McGoldrick..with the "d" census 1911

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
