    SNAP! From Mr French, 24 minutes earlier and the open windows are similar - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000338771

    Aaah! A noticeboard with posters on it, just too far off to read! I think it may be a poster for an AUCTION.

    Niall McAuley "ELECTIONS" it says (via the SNAP above) [Not more elections ... *groans* ... Trumped again!]

    We do not see this Gate Lodge at right, built 1876, so 1872-76 somewhere? This 1878 shop is also absent.

    Galway - the building on the right is now the Town Hall Theatre and the bridge in the background is the old railway bridge which connected the mainline station (now Ceannt Station) to the Clifden line. www.google.ie/maps/@53.2760264,-9.054345,3a,75y,6.51h,95....

    The line closed April 1935.

    Neither the courthouse nor the railway viaduct narrow the dates from 1900-1920.

    We were nearby (a month ago) in January 1901, when there were renovations going on behind the central pillars - The new windows and doors are looking a little worn in the top photo, so probably a while after 1901 ? I thought this might be before the 1901 renovations, but no; the original facade was more handsome - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000335983

    "VOTE for MORRIS" seems to be this fellow - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Morris,_2nd_Baron_Killanin "... He was elected to the House of Commons for Galway Borough in 1900, a seat he held until the following year when he succeeded his father as second Baron Killanin and entered the House of Lords...."

    Queen Victoria died at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 22 January 1901, so this photo is likely to be the next day, Wednesday 23 January (?). Extraordinary details of Victoria's death and funeral - www.historyextra.com/period/victorian/queen-victoria-deat...

    Another historic moment, captured by the camera loving Dillons. Thanks. It appears to be The Town Hall Theatre In Galway in the background, rather than the courthouse which is opposite it. Must have been undergoing some refurbishment at the time.
