    Brilliant capture of such an iconic moment in time.

    Constant They demolished the rest of it and the space stood empty until it was replaced by the Spire in 2003.

    For a start ..........21st October 1805 was a good day for some.

    Noblett's sweet shop was around in 1916 - it was occupied by the rebels.
  • ccferrie said:
    According to this discussion forum Thom's directory has Nobletts there from 1922 through to 1956 and Laird's from 1922 through to 1941 (but not 1956) - presume these records aren't exhaustive though and they may have both been there earlier than that.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Laird's appears from another angle here:

    O Mac Thank you! Which was, of course, the Battle of Trafalgar where Nelson died.

    Changes since Bona Fide Travellers: The DBC. The tall electric lights (1892 until 1903-1910 sometime). Where is the Gunpowder office signage gone? Railings around the O'Connell monument. Electric trams. Straw hats! Light coloured clothes. Ladies on bikes.

    And as DannyM8 spotted, a dust cart spraying the street! We've never captured one of those in action before...

    Summer I would think, the few parasols are for the sun rather than the rain. Strong shadows - someone will be able to tell the date and time of day!

    DannyM8 Someone thinks 14:43 (?) from the clock (see note). Not 100% sure.
