    Glad you came West to start the New Year. Great photo. The old tram operated between 1879 and 1918 when a shortage of horses and changing times finished it off. Many thanks for all the photos you brought us last year and looking forward to your choices for this year. The photo features what John B Keane regarded as one of the outstanding features of Irish towns in days gone by, the corner boys.

    Such an unusual shot for a film photograph? It is quite different in its approach and composition to most and very interesting for that reason. I was visiting Galway a lot around then but was more interested in rivers and rugby pitches so I can't help with Mullins but the boy reminds me of myself just a few years earlier.

    A butchers shop, I think - so the kid is dreaming of mince. A look at Google maps shows that the building is intact but painted a startling lime green - and home to a creperie called Zatsuma. A creperie in Galway City. Who'd have guessed that in 1964?

    John Lord Mince, eh? That's what I get for stereotyping children - thinking of a sweet tooth instead of carnivorous tendencies...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    This is as close as I can get in Streetview.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Oh don't talk to me! Spent a good 5 minutes trying to get the same view - slithering up and down Shop Street, muttering ominously that if Mr O'Dea could do it, then so could I. Shamefacedly gave up, but I am bloodied but unbowed. Virtual sticky bun (hot from the wholly imaginary NLI oven) for anyone who can get the same view in Streetview...

    The sky detail is usually removed from these pictures to allow them to be used as postcards, but the quality of work in this picture is very poor. Chect out around the bell tower and along the roofline.

    This Eason shot is a lot later (1910ish):

    Curtis the pawnbroker and his shop are mentioned in the Freeman's (March 2 1894) report of The Meath Murder trial (Warning: contains the word 'bosom')
    James Curtis, pawnbroker, Drogheda, deposed that the shirt (produced) was pawned in his establishment by a man who gave the name of Gallagher. He believed the prisoner was the man.
