This is a nice picture. I used it to accompany a humorous post called "The Hidden Hand of Advertising" on my twice-weeky bunkaryudo.com blog.

This is actually much sharper that the other shot though not enough to be definitive about the time which I take to be 1205? but I wouldn't bet on it. The architect/town planner had a great eye for setting off his building to perfection, the line of Georgian houses leading down to the elegant church with clock tower at the end, very nice view.

Swordscookie It is lovely, like the gorgeous view down Upper Mount Street to the Pepper Cannister church. And taken later in the day, as the awning has been unfurled at Field's?

Aeroplane Disaster? "On 5th July 1912, Captain E.B. Loraine and Staff-Sergeant R.H.V. Wilson were killed near the junction of the A344, A360 and B3086 grid reference SU098429. They were flying a Nieuport Monoplane and when making a tight turn the aeroplane plunged toward the ground and crashed." Edit: Does this billboard say "Daily News and Leader"? The paper was only called that from sometime in 1912, when the Daily News merged with the Morning Leader.

Niall McAuley Just double-checked original, and it is indeed the Daily News & Leader!! So, changing to Circa 1912 for both of these photos. But going to leave the question mark in situ for a wee while longer, though 1912 is looking very promising, especially given your Aeroplane Disaster find above...

I firmly believe that there are no dogs in this photo..........
