C. 1910: I hadn't realised the defilement of our built heritage with pebbledash had set in that long ago.

Signs on doorway to left of car read BSA Bicycles.
According to Wikipedia, BSA made bicycles from 1880 to 1887, and then again from 1908 onwards. So given the car there, this would be after 1908.

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.

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.).
