    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...

    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?

    I passed by here about 10 days ago. Not much different apart from the influx of crusty types.

    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!
