Looks like South Mall. I seem to remember Cudmores was an ice cream shop at some point. I could be wrong.

Yep South Mall. Late 1970s I'd say.

The Ballphehane accent is very harsh when compared to the Lough accent which is a lot smoother.

Shur, The Lough people are just Togher people with shoes.

I remember PMPA even had a repair garage down there too - where the old Tax Office was I think.

I used drive a company car which the PMPA repaired themselves in the garage. Car was subsequently involved in a minor crash subsequently and repaired elsewhere and the guy in the second garage noticed that despite the second crash on the right hand wing it was still longer wheel centre to wheel centre than the left hand side. PMPA hadn't properly straightened the chassis when they "repaired" it.
