This is a cracker of a shot from the Stereo Pairs Collection with terrific detail and all kinds of jewels in the form of merchandise outside the doors of the shops. Where is English Street and where did Peter Fitzsimons have his shop? I look forward to the information emerging on this during the course of the day!
With thanks in particular to Ger Cos (with corroberation from derangedlemur and ɹǝqɯoɔɥɔɐǝq), this is "location identified". As the corner of Church Street and English Street in Downpatrick, County Down....

Downpatrick Co. Down perhaps?

It says London on it. I'm guessing London.

Or Larne. When we don't know where it is, it's always Larne.

Beautiful.

Looks like it's here: www.google.ie/maps/@54.3289093,-5.7158867,3a,75y,166.69h,... It's changed a bit.

The OSNI is all just 6" with nothing identifiable marked on it.

The 1882 Town Hall (now Down Arts Centre) gothic red brick is not yet there on the left (see streetview). Knocks a year or so off the date range... archiseek.com/2014/1882-town-hall-downpatrick-co-down/

Snap-ish! A wider view - It's the "London Boot & Shoe House" on the right - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000560235 Spot the differences!

There is also a mono reverse view from up Irish Street, possibly the same day or a similar date - no Town Hall, some boxes, shop awnings, and a strange cast iron thingamabob with a skew lid near a pillar box ... catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000338431

Dateswise, Peter Fitzsimons is in the 1877 directory at PRONI, but not the 1870, so this is after 1870.

Telford of the London Boot House likewise first appears in 1877, so no help.
