    Nope, haven't got a clue;-)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Well, that's a very direct answer! :)
  • Swordscookie said:
    Unless somebody is very familiar with the view I can't see this being easy. There are no shop names, posters or other manmade evidence to help. The one redeeming feature is that gap in the hills on the other side of town. The steep slope of the hill and the obvious valley in which the town is situated would indicate either a sea or riverside location but that doesn't count for much in a small island like ours.

    I am 99.9% sure that this is Downpatrick, County Down. Looking down English Street, from the hill with the cathedral, past the jail, into the town. The lovely old buildings are still there on the left. The notch on the far hillside is slightly hidden from street view by the present building at the bottom of the street - now the Down Arts Centre .

    Sorry I have to zap off here for a while so I can't do anymore of the investigating :-( But at the bottom of the hill on the left are the offices of the Down Recorder newspaper which was estabished in 1836. What I am not sure of is if the building has been replaced since then (even though I have been in them - they do look old!!)

    What a truly wonderfull series of pictures TWAM, much enjoyed, much appreciated.
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    Fantastic, I'm glad everyone is enjoying them.
  • Darkroom Daze said:
    I thought Austro-Hungary was land-locked. Where was its navy based?
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    Before the First World War the empire had ports on the Adriatic, in areas that subsequently became part of Italy and Yugoslavia. Trieste was probably the most important, although the Austrian emperor also controlled Venice for a while.
  • Darkroom Daze said:
    Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Thanks. Kind of you to take trouble to reply. FrigateRN I love this set too. I'm a Londoner who had three wonderful years working in Newcastle 1969-1972 and sad I had to leave. And some of my immigrant great-grandfolks first settled in now-demolished streets near St.James's Park.

    7 June 1924 was a Saturday. No moustaches! Is this because of Civic Guards regulations, or fashion in 1924?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Two weeks later in Kilkenny -

    And in 1923 (previous year) in Waterford -
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    The sergeant seated to the right of the officer (from our viewpoint) and the Garda standing immediately behind the officers are wearing a shield-shaped pins on their uniforms - probably indicative of their membership of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association. Permission was given to PTTA members to wear their Pioneer Pin on their uniforms (according to message #8 in this link: irishconstabulary.com/the-civic-guard-t1554.html)

    This building on the corner Lower George's Street and Abbey Street was an RIC barracks when the GeoHive 25" map was surveyed...
