Originally thought that W. Mullins was a sweet shop, because the little boy was so glued to the window... However, yellow book tells us Mullins was a butchers shop at this time, and says "A look at Google maps shows that the building is intact but painted a startling lime green - and home to a creperie called Zatsuma. A creperie in Galway City. Who'd have guessed that in 1964?" Thanks to blackpoolbeach for providing us with a Bird's Eye View of this scene, and we're indebted to mcginley2012 for a fantastic historical account of this street corner from Kenny's Old Galway. Apparently in 1894, the lease on the corner shop (locally known as the Thimble Castle) was sold "to the Mullins family who also had it as a butcher shop, until 1995".
