I see the car has a chauffeur.

DannyM8 That's great, Danny, as it's not possible to tell from the photo that Curries at no. 4 Castle Street is a bakery/confectionery. Dating's good too - I think this is quite a late Lawrence photo. And the Curries were Congregationalists. Don't think we've come across too many of them up to now.

There is a ghost-like Dog!

So here you are a Vauxhall, a Hillman, 2 Beatles,and hum, let me focus in...maybe a donkey

Rossoindia :-)

Still, despite the plague of donkeys, Pratts Motor Spirit from the Anglo-American Oil Co. is on sale. Also ads for Raleigh Cycles, Bass, Murphy's Extra stout, Royal Irish Distilleries of Belfast, Cambridge lemonade, Curtiss & Harvey sporting cartridges (ammo?) and even Jeyes Fluid.

I propose that Danny's ghost dog is "lifting it's leg" by the boxes.

PETER LYONS, MANUFACTURER OF PRIZE MEDAL BREAD AND CONFECTIONERY, OBTAINED Bronze Medal and Grand Diploma of Honour at Bakers' and Confectioners' International Exhibition, held in Koyal Agricultural Hall, London, 1896 ; ALSO OBTAINED Second Prize and 2 Diplomas for High Class Confectionery in open competition against all Confectioners in the United Kingdom, held in London, 1895.

derangedlemur Wonder did he win prizes later than 1896, or was he still living on the glory for a few years? (These Eason photos date from 1900 onwards...)

From some relation or other "Undated photo showing Clarke's Sale Rooms, Drogheda, Co. Louth (on the roof to the right). Eugene Clarke, draper (my great grandfather) started the business and had premises on Shop Street and West Street. One of his sons James Bernard Clarke ran the business until 1905 when he emigrated to New Jersey with his wife and 6 children." www.facebook.com/freeirishgenealogyebooks/timeline?filter... (it's the same pic, btw) It still says Clarke on the front as well as the roof so I guess it's pre-1905 (though it's J. A. as opposed to J. B.).
