Ah! beachcombing ... a life not wasted. There's some discussion (and hilarious comments) over on YouTube about which Bangor the song was about. Evidently inspired by a trip to Rhyl in north Wales, but that didn't rhyme - youtu.be/T8WiPy1xSkw.

Looks like the clock tower is being built. When did that happen? See also reverse view -

I never realized it is red! In 2014 via RoystonVasey, who gives a little more history... "This Town Clock structure was built in the late 1800’s. The lower section original housed the scales for the weighbridge outside on the left. Initially there was just the lower section but the Knight of Kerry decided to make the building more aesthetically acceptable by adding the upper Clock Tower including a four faced clock. Unfortunately, the clock was put out of commission in 1922 by some Free State Soldiers or so the story goes. Like all stopped clocks, it remained an eternal liar up until 1990 when it was restored to full working order..."

"First established in the 1830s, the Royal Hotel Valentia has played host to two future Kings of England in its time and took the name ‘Royal’ after a visit from Queen Victoria’s son, Price Arthur at the end of the 19th century. " From the Hotel's website - royalvalentia.ie/hotel/ , which also includes a similar view which another site dates as 1904 - www.rareirishstuff.com/kerry/royal-hotel-valentia-valenci... Edit - the image is this one - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320496

Streetview shows it is still a picturesque corner - maps.app.goo.gl/6EsxN6ckJ1UjzLfGA

Does the clock on the church tower say 10:00 ?

The WR&S Eason shots are all early, if I recall, like 1900-1905.
