Starting the week with a Stereo Pairs image of a terrace of houses on a broad street many of them decorated with elaborate wrought (cast) iron balconies. I wonder where it is and if it appears on Streetview today!
I expected this photograph to pose more of a challenge to our intrepid investigators, but within minutes of posting the location had been identified as Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton
Contributor: John Fortune Lawrence
Collection: Stereo Pairs Photograph Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1860-1883
NLI Ref: STP_2347

Interesting mix: fancy 3 storey terrace, then further along a "modern" (at the time) row of two-up two down terrace houses, and beyond those some thatched cottages.

Cool shot

The neighbouring STPs are in Enniskillen...

Yup, streetview, Enniskillen it is.

I saw this reversish view in the archive L_ROY_06900 when searching on Enniskillen which is titled "Brook", and Google found the area.

The Lawrence is later, with streetlights and a pillar box added on the terrace side of the street.

Not a million miles from this one:

I seem to remember seeing another photo of this same street about a year ago, but there was a lot of horse dung on it and some people standing around. Judging by the trees it was taken in winter, and there are no brown leaves blowing around so maybe it's closer to early spring.

I'd guess the house at right is newish here - but no NIAH help today on dates. EDIT: Strike that, the house now has Crannog Antiques in it, and their website says: Crannog Antiques is situated in the spacious rooms of a 19th Century townhouse opposite Portora Royal School Gates on the Belleek Road A46.

The taller buildings are called Willoughby Place and are all listed, but I don't see any dates.

Best I can do is "early- to mid-19th century", no help.

Oscar Wilde went to Portora Royal School (behind the camera) between 1864 - 1871. I wonder if he was looking over the cameraman's head when this photo was taken ...

The smoke from the chimney is different in both. Suggests later in the year. Cold but no snow. Fire in the hearth
CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY
I had been through there a long time ago, on my way to Ballycassidy and Donegal. I remember British soldiers with machineguns in the bushes, alongside the road and an airfield with helicopters. Not a comfortable experience.
