    Streetview.

    William James Moffett, photographer, is at #53 in both the 1901 and 1911 census.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    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?
  • John Spooner said:
    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").

    What a stately edifice. I thought it was a country estate before I read your narrative!
  • Robin Parkes said:
    Looks as though he knows he's been caught in the act by his actions :) That was a magnificient building. Torn down in the name of progress.

    Nick Stewart It's a bit scruffier round the back. I've spent many an hour sitting on its draughty platforms between trains as a small child on my way to visit my grandparents.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Robin Parkes Aw, is the building gone? Or the whole railway station?
  • Nick Stewart said:
    derangedlemur I have vague memories of Omagh station as a child. Mr.Beeching's axe got it though, along with countless others.

    Is the date correct? This looks like 1930-40's attire.
