Memories fade and the reality becomes distorted. The photo has been in the family archives for almost one-hundred years as being the tripe shop. It probably is not.
Evidence points in that direction, but nothing is definite unless we can get first-hand information.

That shop on the right of the photo is probably not on the corner. It has its chimney on the right and if it were the end of the row this would be on the end wall of the house which is unlikely. Also it looks as if the masonry continues to the right beyond the downpipe.
It's most likely as you say that someone took a picture at the walking day, possibly with your mother in it, and it's not your shop.
