    There is a business name the photo "Baynes Limited". The Baynes family ran a huge commercial enterprise across southern Brisbane. William Baynes had one of the first butchers in the area and established the Graziers Butchering Company in 1880. This business exported meat and supplied up to 30 suburban butchers. The Baynes’ established a wool-scouring, fellmongering and soap-making facility at Belmont in 1896. The Belmont factory was state-of-the-art and could produce 60-sixty bales of wool and 3000 sheepskins daily. The Belmont tramway, opened in 1912, had a siding to the factory that enabled products to be transported from there directly to the wharves on the Brisbane River at Queensport. The Baynes business carried on in various forms until 1937. Source: mappingbrisbanehistory.com.au/history-location/baynes-bro...

    I checked our trusty Irish Motor Directory and Motorists' Annual, and who appears in the 1912-1913 edition but the registered owner of IY 136 - one Major A. Owen Lewis, H.M. Prison, Mountjoy, Dublin...

    The corner shop at left was said to be "nearing completion" in 1909 in the Westmeath Independent, according to the NIAH
  • Niall McAuley said:
    As can be seen at the OS map link, this is Church Street further along, but the near end is Custume Place, formerly Victoria Place. Several of the shop owners can be found in the 1911 census: e.g Campbell, Farrelly, Fleming's Medical Hall is on Church St. proper.

    Charles Fair, Solicitor, has a first floor office at left.
