Definitely the earlier part of your date estimate! Possibly even a little earlier...

The streetights look to be all gas, which would suggest the early part of that date range.

Never been to Banbridge before. Physically or otherwise. The "cut" is intriguing. Looking at it, I'd have assumed it had something to rail or tram traffic - but seemingly it was completed in the 1830s to improve (mainly horse-drawn) through traffic on the Dublin road. As Wikipedia puts it, to prevent horses from falling "faint before reaching the top of the hill". One wonders if the overloaded carts had as much to do with it though :)

Heading to Lennon Wylie for street directories: 1901: No Murphy Temperance Hotel. There is a Sloan and Gilmore cycle repair given as Newry St. 1907: A Miss Murphy on Eden St, Sloan, cycle repairer, Newry Street (Gilmore has opened his own cycle repair shop on Bridge St). 1910: Sloan, cycle repairer, Church square, Murphy, Miss, confectioner and lodgings, Newry street So, I think we are between 1907 (Sloan alone but no Murphy on newry St) and 1910 (Sloan away to Church sq).
