    I suspect the note is incorrect - the building noted is in fact the old, and now demolished, Waverley Market as the station is to the right.

    It's not so bad elyziumfields, though the Baloral Hotel (think it would have been the "North British" back then) got a whole lot grander and more crenellated some time shortly after the picture was taken.

    Welcome back Carol, I was thinking of you when I saw the earthquakes in Bologna, I hope you were not too badly rattled in the process? Nice return to the scene and believe me you have been missed. I like this for the curiosities on display, the sign for the Pickwick pen by McNiven and Cameron overhead see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macniven_and_Cameron. There is also the number over the second part of the shot with the number 11-1/2. Just up the road in Dorset Street Upper near the junction with Blessington St was a shop number 123-1/2, I was always amused to see it and when development removed it I thought it a pity they did not retain it. I note that the headlines refer to a "Balkan War" but there did not appear to be a crisis in 1905 but there was one in 1908 and of course there was a little dispute in 1914 that led to a slightly larger dispute. "Bosnian Crisis 1908-09 Each succeeding international crisis from 1905 to 1913 threatened the security of all the powers and thus increased the hostility between the rival camps. If a war broke out in Europe, it would naturally become an international war involving all the powers.#"

    Swordscookie Thanks, and no, we'd moved on to Rome by time of second quake! They are beautiful nibs, and you're right, the 11-1/2 is gorgeus, isn't it? Don't think we've come across that in any of our photos yet. I did try some of the headlines that I could make out in our online newspapers for dating purposes but couldn't find any exact matches...

    I wonder if the Premier's trenchant speech referenced in the Weekly Freeman is Asquith in Dublin in July 1912?
