Portadown, Bann Bridge? www.google.es/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.portadownpho...

I had the same idea: www.flickr.com/photos/7641386@N08/11993097693/ (The neigboring photos are from Portadown)

These buildings still exist (see note on photo): goo.gl/maps/XjEHf57WafD2

www.portadownphotos.co.uk/maps_of_portadown.htm has a map of 1906 with this situation (No. 5)

From wikipedia - " ... There are three bridges across the river at Portadown. Bridge Street and Northway are both road bridges and there is a railway bridge beside the Northway. The 'Bann Bridge' on Bridge Street is the oldest. The story of this bridge is unusual in that it was built without a river running underneath it. After building was complete, the course of the River Bann was diverted by some 100 yards to straighten a meander. The old riverbed was then built upon. An archaeological dig in the area of the old riverbed uncovered the bones of some of those drowned in the 1641 massacre. The current bridge has been widened twice since it was built. ... " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portadown#The_River_Bann Edit: This bridge was completed in 1838, and widened on this southern side in 1922, according to www.craigavonhistoricalsociety.org.uk/rev/weatherupbridge... , so no help with the date.

Bridge St, NLS, sadly

The coronation of Edward VII and his wife, Alexandra, as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions took place at Westminster Abbey, London, on 9 August 1902. Originally scheduled for 26 June of that year, the ceremony had been postponed at very short notice, because the King had been taken ill

The poster says 26 June, so it was put up before the cancellation, and would surely have been replaced before the event.

The dia says the PO was built 1895-97, but cryptically adds Fittings 1904 dia.ie

The other poster is for the Adder, a steamer sailing between Belfast and Ardrossan in Scotland.

Streetview.

William James Moffett, photographer, is at #53 in both the 1901 and 1911 census.

In 1901, there is a Samuel Wilson, Grocer, aged 68, but he is gone by 1911. So I think the date is 1900-1910.

Is the man in uniform on the right a Peeler? I doesn't look like the usual RIC uniform of that time! Perhaps there was a local town Constabulary?

From quick scan of the newspapers, I've concluded that the First Presbyterian Church was known as the Presbyterian Church until the Second Presbyterian Church was opened for public worship in March 1869 (and "the attendance at both morning and evening service was numerous and influential").
