    The upper poster "Lent Preachers" says 1865 on it, and the lower one refers to Sunday next, 19th March. 19th March 1865 was indeed a Sunday.

    Judging by the steps in the background it's from inside looking out, though the steps seem to be slightly different now: goo.gl/maps/8rZJyVidmLxTC7na6 Edit: No it is outside looking in - the angel above the door is on the outside. goo.gl/maps/sQdZfNneDmRAU1wg8

    The "steps" are actually that tomb all the way over on the far wall.

    There's a Female Orphan House marked on the 25", at the junction of the NCR and Annamoe Road. The Orphanage and associated church are gone, replaced by the ugly modern Park House.

    Streetview (??), by the church on the right, and the house on the left - maps.app.goo.gl/oQwBP1goonNEQWvb7
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The church was replaced in 1920, but on the same spot, so beachcomber australia's streetview is still good.

    Via Trove -
    THE SUFFERING POOR AT CARRAROE. The Rev. John Healy, P.P., Carraroe, Connemarra, County Galway, appeals to readers of the 'Catholic Times' for assistance for the suffering poor of his parish. He writes : — ' Unless I am to see my people die of hunger before my eyes, I cannot do otherwise than appeal to tho public on their behalf. Furthermore, unless help is speedily forthcoming many of my poor flock will be beyond the reach of it. All the world knows Indian meal gruel, even if there be plenty of it, is not food on which a working man or woman will thrive, but not many of the people here can afford more than one meal per day of this food, while if a potato or other food, no matter how scanty, was to be found in the possession of any family there was no hope of any Government relief for them. When all resources were exhausted the Government relieved about two hundred families to the extent of Is. per family per day. Nothing has been done for the remaining seven hundred families whose condition is exactly similar to those who obtain this pittance. On behalf of those seven hundred families I have no alternative but to appeal to the charity and humanity of readers of the 'Catholic Times.' I am confident they will not see my poor people die of hunger while they can spare a trifle to relieve them.

    "1881: Universal Postal Union agreement
    The international parcel service, which allowed the orderly shipment of mailed packages and parcels from one country to another according to predetermined rates, was established by the Universal Postal Union on 1 October 1881 (Great Britain, India, The Netherlands and Persia, 1 April 1882), following the agreement of 1880 in Paris during a three-week conference on the subject. ..."
