J. Ross Portrait Artist and Photographer (see note almost top left) -

Ross 54 Grafton Street, Dublin According to the company’s website, they were established in 1929. A photograph dated to 1930 is captioned: ‘Shadowgraph Portrait by J. Ross, 54 Grafton Street, Dublin’. There had been no photographer at this address in 1929, but ‘J. Ross, photographer’ was listed in 1931. By 1936, Ross Studios were at 3 St. Stephen’s Green. They were still there in 1974, but have since returned to Grafton Street, No 59, as Edmund Ross Studios.

Definitely post-1925 as there was a clothes shop above Noblett's in May 1924 (from advert in the Irish Independent). The hairdressers were (was?) advertising for staff from October 1925 in the same newspaper. The proprietor was Alfonso Palcic, and you can see his name faintly over the window proclaiming "Gentlemens Hair Dressing".

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.

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.

Laird's appears from another angle here:

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