Nope, haven't got a clue;-)

Swordscookie Well, that's a very direct answer! :)

Unless somebody is very familiar with the view I can't see this being easy. There are no shop names, posters or other manmade evidence to help. The one redeeming feature is that gap in the hills on the other side of town. The steep slope of the hill and the obvious valley in which the town is situated would indicate either a sea or riverside location but that doesn't count for much in a small island like ours.

I am 99.9% sure that this is Downpatrick, County Down. Looking down English Street, from the hill with the cathedral, past the jail, into the town. The lovely old buildings are still there on the left. The notch on the far hillside is slightly hidden from street view by the present building at the bottom of the street - now the Down Arts Centre .

Sorry I have to zap off here for a while so I can't do anymore of the investigating :-( But at the bottom of the hill on the left are the offices of the Down Recorder newspaper which was estabished in 1836. What I am not sure of is if the building has been replaced since then (even though I have been in them - they do look old!!)

Awesome

Wystan, I think the date may be 7/17/13 like the adjacent photograph: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3774616955/in/p... The man ahead of Big Tim is Larry Mulligan who appears in the adjacent photo at link above, and the woman standing just behind Big Tim here appears to be in the other photo too.
