    Unchanged in StreetView.

    Most useless dating evidence ever: in 1880 Mortimer's Plymouth Dyeing Works had already been established for 106 years, according to this advert in The Royal Cornwall Gazette Falmouth Packet, Cornish Weekly News, & General Advertiser (Truro, England), Friday, October 22, 1880
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Here is the OS 25" map at GeoHive surveyed in 1898. The DIA says the National Bank (now BofI) is from 1866.
  • John Spooner said:
    And in the interest of balance, from The Dundee Courier & Argus (Dundee, Scotland), Saturday, August 15, 1896:
    stout message lad

    and from The Yorkshire Herald, and The York Herald (York, England), Monday, November 04, 1895

    1901 census, Main Street: McCarthy is there, but no Gaynor, FitzGibbon, Corkery, or Curtin. There is a Dore, but a boarder and shop assistant, not a shopkeeper. 1911 Census, Main Street: James McCarthy is dead, but his widow Margaret is still in business. David Hartigan, shopkeeper, has a 10 year old stepson named Jerry Curtin. James Cahill has a 4 year old stepson named Cornelius Dore.

    If it's 1911 the census should be our friend.

    The posters mention "Letter from Mr J Redmond" and "Home Rule Finance" London Times Saturday 27th May 1911 "The following letter from Mr John Redmond appeared in the Dublin newspapers yesterday ..." The letter mentions finance of the Home Rule Bill. There is also lots of stuff about the Imperial Conference, which had begun that week. So I'd say Friday 26th May 1911. I'd put my house shed on it.

"Servant Girls as Spies"

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  • 56 older comments, and then…
  • derangedlemur said:
    The spy obsession was more from 1912 onwards than 1902, but it may not have been part of that particular bout of hysteria. "Terms of Peace" suggests the end of the Boer war.
  • derangedlemur said:
    In fact it is: One of the posters says "Terms of Boer Treaty"
  • derangedlemur said:
    Presumably referring to the Treaty of Vereeniging, signed on 31 May 1902.
  • billh35 said:
    All talking about "Peace" and "Terms of Peace" which will have been the end of the 2nd Boer War which ended in May 1902. It was an unpopular war which had seen the introduction of things such as concentration camps, "scorched earth" and internment which eradicated dramatically support for the war. An impressive array of newspapers - The Newry Reporter, The Newry Telegraph as well as The Irish Times and Independent, The Weekly Freeman. The Newry Reporter of course still exists but no sign of Newry's third local paper The Newry Standard. The same view today - maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=hill+street+newry&ll=54.1738...

    billh35 And at extreme right on the ground is a poster for the Belfast something - maybe Telegraph?
