A lovely quiet street that has known many changes!

I believe we achieved a new record today - for the first time we had three street views - thanks for the effort. By the way, OwenMacC thinks that derangedlemur's one is the best representation of the photo!!

sharon.corbet Tells us that The War Memorial visible today was added in 1921, so it's before that, I have updated the date range to reflect this.

No mention of Whiskey - I will have to remedy that myself with the following short piece from official website Bushmills.com

1918-20 A new chapter : Bushmills Whiskey made an impression on some of the most prolific authors of the time. It gets a mention in Ulysses and, not surprisingly, in On Booze.

I know that "On Booze" is by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I am not sure about the author of other buke!!

    I wouldn't swear to it but I think there's a motor car halfway up the hill on the far side of the crossroads.

    The War Memorial visible today was added in 1921, so it's before that.

    Summertime, I think, the gentlemen on the right are in shirtsleeves.

    The clock tower has the older roof from the two images here. When was it re-roofed, I wonder?

    THE DOE are not much help, here is a lovely empty record in the listed buildings database.

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley] There's a bit more info in the Conservation Area Plan - the builder was John Hall, and it's made from basalt, but nothing about the reroofing.
