1879–1961

Have the street numbers changed since Mr Clarke's day? GoogleMaps sent me to the wrong place.

Eeek! He's driving on the wrong side of the street ...

Number plates came in from 1903.

The flag says "MAPLE HOTEL", seen in an earlier French/Lawrence photo from the other end of the block. No fancy electric lamp-posts - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000333251

This car, on the road when the system was introduced, would be a low number, probably Dublin.

It looks like a ski resort, aside from the donkeys and no snow.

Probably somewhere in Donegal given Dr. Clarkes history. An especially interesting photograph with the chains linking the donkeys which I have never seen before though it does make sense. The one poor old ass would find those heavy rocks a great burden going uphill. Some fine beards on display for Movember and some very well shod boys given the era of the image. Would that indicate that it was winter even though the workman is in shirt sleeves? Where is Annie McGinley when you need her?

Odd building. No boxed soffits and low pitch roof. Strange layout too. Church, school, convent?? Three grown men and two asses bringing a rock for a walk.

O Mac Non boxed soffits quite common on buildings of that Victorian/Edwardian era. Also uses less wood so cost saving. It does look ecclesiastical.

If it's in Donegal, it's not heritage. NIAH doesn't seem to have it under any obvious category. Unless the date is post-1920, I suppose.

I see that the two people are keeping their "social distance queue" .... or else she is being followed by plain clothes police aha !

Streetview There's something very no-nonsense about her attitude which I appreciate.

I love this poster-hope opening goes well and safely for you all!

It's Mary O'Poppins!

The Pinkerton man is behind you !
