A wonderful Eason image for today with High Street, Belfast in all its glory. Trams, carriages, sidecars, pedestrians, all on a long, busy High Street with awnings out to protect the windows from the sun. Looking at the long dresses of the ladies, I suspect that it was taken at the early part of the date range – if not before?
One thing for sure, there are no microwave hairdo's on display :-)

Electric trams, so 1905 at earliest.

Belfast trams were red and white

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia You've had a bad attack of the dejas but hopefully there is a vaccine for it;-)

Looking at Lennon Wylie Street directories page, we are before 1910, when the Albion Cloth Company was gone from 14.
Niall McAuley
probably before 1908.

I see Jacob's Marie, not Marietta, advertised on the tram. The Marie biscuit was created by the London bakery Peek Freans in 1874 to commemorate the marriage of the Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia to the Duke of Edinburgh. It became popular throughout Europe, particularly in Spain where, following the Civil War, the biscuit became a symbol of the country's economic recovery after bakeries produced mass quantities to consume a surplus of wheat. per Wikipedia

Fish, flesh and fowl. Sounds delectable.

Window on the left has Commercial Union Assurance Co, which was formed in 1861, there were granted a coat of arms in 1928, I don't see them on the building or windows, so it's between those two dates. Doesn't help much with dating though. National Bank Ltd on the far left, was established in 1845 at 34 and 35 College Green, Dublin. This branch was opened in 1897, so the photo is no earlier than that date. encircleworldphotos.photoshelter.com/image/I0000MzOwpDGSWeM

Great that Sawers are still going strong, albeit from a different location. Online as well sawersbelfast.com so obviously still got a good eye for business

Aside https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] You sent me a-googling; 1980s German pop-punk bands are not good at breakfast time! Or anytime!

That advertising on Sawers blinds (and other shops) seems to be aimed at the people on the top deck of the trams. Which reminds me of the wonderful 1901 Belfast pre-electric tram film - youtu.be/QQnDrqigK8E (colourized version, accompanied by Schubert)

“Sawers is a family business established in 1897 that has always prided itself on stocking an extensive range of quality foods. Described as an Aladdin's Cave of culinary delights, Sawers is as famous in Belfast as the Titanic and in fact supplied the R.M.S. Titanic with olives, cheese and more for it's onboard functions” discovernorthernireland.com/food-and-drink/sawers-limited...

Is it my imagination or are all the trams (and nearly all the traffic) going in the same direction - towards the camera? Just a couple of carts going the other way in a narrow lane on the side.
