    The correct name is SHARMAN D. NEILL "A retail business active since 1884 at Donegall Place, Belfast and at Edgware Rd, London from 1852 until c. 1880. In 1909 the firm was converted into a Ltd. Sharman Dermott Neill was a descendent of Robert Neill, who in partnership with Henry Gardner, advertised 'Telescopes' in 1810. Sharman D. Neill Ltd is still active at 7-9 Royal Avenue, Belfast" www.silvercollection.it/electroplatesilverNOP.html

    B-59 I see from your street view that the premises is now River Island, the Photo from Grafton Street two or three days of ago was also currently occupied by River Island!!

    The shop to the right, Thornton & Co, has a "Special Attentant for Ladies Body Belts", whatever they were. Thorntons were still in Donegall Place in 1929, but had a very different shopfront. Page 76 of this link. issuu.com/glenravel/docs/snapshots2

Shop Interior: silver, gold goods - indicative of wealth/trade.

    It seems to say "arcad" (presumably arcade) on the door, and also on the windows to the right if you get out the image processing software.

    Sharman D. Neill, Belfast ??
  • derangedlemur said:
    beachcomber australia I'm not sure the window's the right shape for that. About the right number of clocks, though. I was just trawling the Queen's Arcade myself. Edit: On second thoughts (well, glance), I think you may be right. It seems to have the same clock over the door.

    nicely done

    The "Arcade" writing must actually be across the road, not over the door. Neill's is directly opposite the Queen's Arcade.

    Changes since Bona Fide Travellers: The DBC. The tall electric lights (1892 until 1903-1910 sometime). Where is the Gunpowder office signage gone? Railings around the O'Connell monument. Electric trams. Straw hats! Light coloured clothes. Ladies on bikes.

    And as DannyM8 spotted, a dust cart spraying the street! We've never captured one of those in action before...

    Summer I would think, the few parasols are for the sun rather than the rain. Strong shadows - someone will be able to tell the date and time of day!

    DannyM8 Someone thinks 14:43 (?) from the clock (see note). Not 100% sure.
