Looking Back: Byrne's General Merchants on Main Street

Looking back a little further this morning, this is the frontage of my grandfather's general merchants shop in 1922, where Eurospar is now, writes Brian Byrne.

The Model T Ford in the picture was stolen from the yard of his shop on 28 July 1922, as well as £30 worth of boots and damage to the door of the shop to the cost of £5. The car was found burned out in Hollywood.
