moville

It hasn't changed much at all.

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&...

Swordscookie Ahhh, that would be a colourised postcard from Lawrence Photographic Studios. Did I add the link here from last week's blog? All about a researcher "going places" with our Lawrence postcards...

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?

Not the same visit as seen previously, because the houses in Montgomery Terrace have changed colour (or shades of grey) -

There's a rusty 'thing' sticking out where (I think) the mill would have been, behind the FIAT garage. Could it be the old wheel spindle? Streetview - goo.gl/maps/WKYPs1g8bio89M519 Edit - WRONG !

The outflow looks deliberate from the map; there's no runoff shown inline with the race.
