"Stephen Polito (also known as Stephano, Stephani and Stephanus Polito; 1763/64–1814) was a menagerie owner of Italian descent in Georgian England.
Polito was born in Moltrasio, Italy. He owned a menagerie which he toured around England in the late 18th century. He went into partnership with another menagerist named Miles in 1798, and "Miles and Polito's Menagerie" exhibited at St Bartholomew's Fair in 1799. Polito's menagerie also attended Nottingham Goose Fair in 1807. ... ...

Early 1908, a notice with similar wording appeared in Saunders's News-Letter on Tuesday 26 January 1808.
Mr Pollito had been in Briston in September 1807.
The adverts in Saunders News-letter continued until 14th May 1808, At some point between 26th January and 4th March the admission price was reduced to "One British Shilling".
So some time between26thearly January and 4th March 1808. -

a big day for hats, Clonmel is certainly stylish on top. the women wrapped in scarves and wraps are more dramatic than usual. mounted policeman too. this is a fabulous scene to pick apart

Mr French seems to have been on the first floor of the Main Guard building; see behind in this streetview - goo.gl/maps/LW8nrEoLCCL3WMr97 The high view means that the distant tower of St Mary's Catholic Church is more visible. In 2009 via Dave Messinger

The Fitzhenrys are stationers on O'Connell St in the census of 1901, but have retired by 1911. RIC man in a forage cap at left means not much before 1900.
