MAIN STREET _4446
Here we are halfway up Main Street back in 1910 and it's looking very busy.
Over to left is Hugh Furey's shop it's a Drapers, family grocer, sells tea wine & is also a spirit merchant.
Next door is another Drapers shop owned by a Mr. F. Campbell, going on down the street are several other shops. Then you come to the shop with it's awning out it sells cigarettes, tobacco, newspapers and best of all sweets. On down and crossing the road we have the Bandstand and beyond that in the bay we have two Royal Navy Warships at anchor. Halfway up the street on the right is an awning covering the entrance to the Victoria Dairy which sells the finest butter and cream also fresh eggs, connected to the Dairy are Tea rooms for visitors. Coming on up there are two horses and carts advertising "The Paragon Tea Rooms", on up are two hand carts advertising "Kelly & Henry Grocers".Out in the road is a Horse & Jaunting Car bringiing people un the hill. Alongside the horse and trap are two ladies on bicycles determined to get to the top while avoiding the horse droppings.

This photograph was taken at the top of Main Street in the early 1900's and 99% of the people on the street are ladies, With the all the flags on display.and Ladies on a platform on the left, could it be for the Ladies right to vote campain. On the right are two sets of ladies going to pass each other with such wide hats, beside them is the Post Office and behind them is Black Restaurant for fine dining.

MAIN STREET _4449
Upper Main Street early in the morning 1900, on the is a horse and cart and the carter walking beside the horse. He's probably giving the horse a break after coming up the hill while a man on a bike going to work.
And towering over the shops and houses is the Presbyterian Church spire.

MAIN STREET _4448
On the left we have the Ava Hotel with someone just going into it here on Main Street in the early 1900's. Also on the left are two men having a chat and hoping to get a fare while behind them is Jaunting car in which the passengers sit sideways, the other vehicle can't be seen.On down is young girl waiting to cross the road and beside is a man with his bike looking up the the photographer. Next a horse and a flat topped cart unloading goods for the hotel, in the middle of the road moving on is a driver with his horse and carriage. Next to him is a pony and trap coming this way and driven by a lady. On the right are two charabancs with passengers on board ready to go Donaghadee.

MAIN STREET _4451
Still lots of people out and about here on Main Street back in 1910 as the sun is going down.To the left is Hamilton Street and further down Main street is the Main Post Office. On the right towering above the street is 1st Bangor Presbyterian Church spire while on down is Market Street. Now behind the man on the bicycle turning into Hamilton streett is a small girl with what looks like rope in her hand. Perhaps the reason is the little dog running across the pavement to the shop doorway has slipped it's collar.
