An old undated postcard photo showing Carr Street looking East with 'C' pit in the distance.

Another fantastic photo, B.S.C. propper shops, before the shopping centre.

I have that photo Peter and I put it as pre-WW1.
I remember going into Wards Drapers shop with my mam as a little lad. It was on the left of the photo and it was like stepping back to the 1800s.
Across from it was Fiondas Ice Cream Parlour.

It’s amazing that in these old photos most of the shops have their goods hanging outside, you just could that these as they would be stolen the minute the shopkeeper went inside the shop.
