St. Nicholas' Church, Galway, 1990

  • heady school said:
    I passed by here about 10 days ago. Not much different apart from the influx of crusty types.
  • Robin Parkes said:
    I see the spire is roofed in copper compared to slates in the older photo.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Thanks Robin Parkes Robin. Hadn't noticed that. As usual, once there's a clock, that's my focus. It may be an illness!
  • victor98_2001 said:
    excellent shot
  • oaktree_brian_1976 said:
    Is that the same tree a hundred years later? Not as big as I thought it would be...

    Looks a bit like Kinsale. Let us consult Streetview. Edit: Maybe not - there's no bridge.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Galway, I think. Yes, in this Bing aerial view I see the church tower, the bridge, and the building with the tower across the river.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think the photographer is up on st. Nicholas's church.

    See the ivy covered ruined wall in the foreground? No ivy today

    The building Mr. Hart was in is gone, but the 3 storey building two doors to the right is still there, and in slightly better nick today, so Hart is on Market Street (streetview links fixed, I hope).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In the distance, I see trusses of the railway viaduct. The Galway to Clifden line was started in 1890, opened in 1895.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Could be. There's not much left of the houses in the picture.

    Think this is a little later than the Egg and Foul Market given the growth in the tree on the right. But not much. Egg and Fowl is circa 1905 so I would say 1906 or 07 at 12.12 PM some day
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 Well, circa 1905 on the Egg and Fowl Market was speculative... Never firmly established.
  • DannyM8 said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Understand that. But think this is a little older
  • DannyM8 said:
    Think this might be the Egg and Fowl Market also?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 Deffo geese, etc. lying on the ground...
