While I believe that this scene was visited before, I think it was not in the Stereo Pairs format nor was it of this quality! This outstanding image with so much going on is always worth a second visit.
And so it was confirmed that we've visited this spot on Devonshire/Grattan Square in Dungarvan previously. Not just once in fact, but twice before - once on a much busier day with French/Lawrence, and once with our left-eye closed to the STP. As ɹǝqɯoɔɥɔɐǝq points-out however, with both eyes open, and the Megazoom version now available, additional detail might come to light. With Niall McAuley for example spotting mention of Thomas McCarthy on one of the posters - and identifying some likely candidates...
Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton
Contributor: John Fortune Lawrence

Date: between ca. 1860-1883

Thomas McCarthy is on a SALE poster on the end of the shed. 7 Thomas McCarthys in Dungarvan in the 1901 census, but this is latest 14 years earlier, so it may be the Town Clerk or Publican etc

Here is the 1870 Slaters Directory! This square is named Devonshire Square. Post Office is Brennan on Main St.

Here is a find - a description of an ignorant Englishman going shopping in this square in Dungarvan in 1909. It says so much about what was wrong with England and right with Ireland - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/105191337

Also in that Slaters, Thomas McCarthy, Blackpool (now O'Connell Street) is recorded as a Tailor and a Linen and Woollen Draper and Haberdasher, just the man for a Sale.

He is still there in 1881 Slaters.
