"Sides of pork, brooms, Cadbury chocolate and cocoa and The Freeman's Journal: some of the items for sale in Kilcullen circa 1900."
 
I've been examining photos from the Lawrence Collection again and zooming in to see whether I can spot any details I may have missed. The collection is available online on the National Library of Ireland's website. I first viewed the photographs on a visit to the NLI around 1982. In those days, before digitisation, photographic records were stored on rolls of microfilm and had to be viewed using optical microform readers.
The Lawrence Collection consists of approximately 40,000 glass plate negatives of buildings and scenes from life in Ireland, photographed between 1865 and 1914. The photographs were taken using large-format cameras and because of the size of the glass-plate negatives, resolution is quite high. There are 25 photographs of buildings and streetscapes in Kilcullen and its hinterland, and the collection became available to access online over 10 years ago.

You can view it here.
