Fantastic shopfront!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
If the original moulding and ironwork has been preserved, it should be possible to find the exact address/location of this shop using Google Maps. I've very loosely placed it along the Quays in Waterford... (that's what's known in the trade as an unsubtle hint!)

A fine dog... truly a champion... I would guess Phelan to be on the right but I am only guessing... thanks for sharing this wonderful old portrait capture!!! In the Waterford Directory 1894 for The Quays, Merchants' Quay, there is a listing #49. as R. F. Phelan, grocer and publican.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Angela Orlando Thank you. Would assume he is one and the same as the grocer/publican Phelan. Must keep an eye out for shop fronts along the quays, some of which are already uploaded here to see if we can identify his shop. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have any other photos of R.F. Phelan to check against, to see which (if either) is Mr Phelan. Although I can't imagine a proud owner of a champion would not want to pose with his winning dog...

The Irish Cup was run in Clounanna (?spelling) in Co. Limerick and was one of the premier greyhound races in its time. Coursing seems to be dying the death these days and a whole way of life is disappearing which is a good or a bad thing depending on where you stand. Interesting that the dog was named after DeWet, one of the great Boer Generals in an island that had provided many of the troops who fought and died in the war against him. For some reason at that time the Boer stance struck a chord in Irish nationalists and the Boers assumed almost hero status. Will you look at the big working mans hands on the dog handler? I wouldn't want to mess with him!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Swordscookie Don't know if you can make it out, but Clounanna is engraved on the Cup (Shield)...
Niall McAuley said:
Yes, along with shields showing the arms of the four provinces, and then something like "Presented to the winners of the races by the something? of Limerick".

19 November 1907 was a Tuesday ...
beachcomber australia said:
Doyle & Dillon is clock heaven. But which is the right time?
beachcomber australia said:
I think the buildings have survived. The new bank is to the right on the corner, and Kelly's have expanded.

Suck Diesel said:
beachcomber australia Yes, both buildings survived, even the fancy windows of the clock shop.
Furlongs on the left wasn’t so lucky.
I’ve heard of the Happy Ring House in Dublin, this one is the Lucky Ring House.
John Spooner said:
Doyle & Dillon's prices on Tuesday 19 November 1907 as advertised in the Evening News (Waterford) I wonder why it says no. 79?
Their advert in the Waterford Star - Saturday 16 November 1907 says 76, as does the one in the Waterford Standard.
Monday's Evening News says 79, but by the 21st it says 76.

I wonder if the Evening Post typesetter was told to buck his ideas up or else.

I assume the figure in the doorway is either Doyle or Dillon, wondering why all their potential customers are passing their shop and looking for watches 3 doors down.
