  Looks like a Back-end-of-a-bus view - goo.gl/maps/t4VcLivGeg9BxybD9

  There's a good café about 6 doors up. I always stop there when I'm in Swinford.

  The nearest Mellets are in 1911 in Foxford

  Also, Gnomes of Zurich is a bit of a stretch, surely? He might just as easily be a Bermuda Triangle or a Servant of Cthulhu.

  Interestingly, Market street has moved from being this street when this photo was taken, to being now what was then chapel street. The Pawnbrokers on market street (i.e. possibly the one in this image) in 1901 were David and George Meade. Edit: In 1911, all the bankers lived on Main Street, which according to the OSI was not in fact a thing. So perhaps market street in the census is where market street is today, and not the street shown above.
