Mr French / Lawrence went to the Rectory / Parsonage to take this reverse-ish view (see comments from nine years(!) ago) -

The bearded man looks like Edward Nangle, but he left Achill in 1852 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Nangle (warning - not a happy story)

The church is called St. Thomas's, the dia puts it at 1852, nearly 20 years later than the 'colony' nearby.

Niall McAuley Yes. Wiki has 1855 for the church opening ...
St. Thomas Church
In 1848, a site was obtained for a new church in Dugort. The church was eventually erected with the aid of funds from a widow in Cheltenham, England who had donated a sum of £2,400. On 18 March 1855, St. Thomas Church was opened for divine service by Bishop Plunkett.[9] The service was attended by 500 people including one convert of 107 years of age who walked five miles to attend.

Niall McAuley If you keep on further down the road in your street view, the boats are still there!!

What a great photo. Looks like a very dangerous beach to be launching and landing currachs. Incredibly skillful oarsmen (and some women) in those days. Many thanks.

Looks a bit staged. Sitting into a currach while it is on rocks is and was a thing to be avoided, for obvious reasons.
