Robert French would have taken the photograph from the two story house on the right. The window frame on the Lynch building can be seen in bottom right www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/22844068380/in/photolist-...

This is one of Galway’s great stories. It is said that in 1493, the mayor and magistrate of Galway James Lynch FitzStephen, hanged his own son from the window of his home. Lynch's son confessed to have murdered a man, a Spanish merchant sailor in the care of the family who had romanced his girlfriend. When no one could be found to carry out the execution, Judge Lynch hanged (or lynched as the practice became known around the world after this event) his son himself, ensuring that justice prevailed, before retiring into seclusion. The memorial is now embedded in stone above a Gothic doorway on Market Street near the graveyard at St. Nicholas’s Church. www.activeme.ie/guides/attractions-2/lynchs-memorial-wind...

Looks a bit like Kinsale. Let us consult Streetview. Edit: Maybe not - there's no bridge.

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.

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). -

In the distance, I see trusses of the railway viaduct. The Galway to Clifden line was started in 1890, opened in 1895.

Could be. There's not much left of the houses in the picture.
