  I'm interested by the 'T. Clarke' name over the shop - is it Tom Clarke of Rising fame or just a coincidence? It's interested to see so many well-dressed women standing around, so I suspect that's some sort of after-event. My mother is from Bray and she tells me that Kevin Barry's mother lived there and when she was a child she would see her walking around the town, and people were always doffing their hats to her and she was considered a tragic figure. I think that might have been as last as the 1960s. Had he lived Kevin Barry would undoubtedly have reached a ripe old age, although he might have not been very well known. He died very young.

  I think the big door at right may be Monk's bakery on Church Street/North king Street?
