    Probably the Church of Ireland church in Ahascragh, Co Galway - see other photos in the Clonbrock Collection: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000521356 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000522606 But it does not compare well to others photos which are suggested to be the same church after damage/restoration in the 1920s: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523074 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523073 Was the 1922-26 restoration that extensive?
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    Since the photograph (CLON162) of St Catherine's in Ahascragh (as it was decorated for a wedding in 1905) shows transepts on both sides, and the current image shows only one transept (to the right), then one could suggest pre-1905 for this image.
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    The south transept was apparently added in 1865: www.dia.ie/works/view/3546/building/CO.+GALWAY%2C+AHASCRA... So this image dates to between the construction of the south transept (right) in 1865 and a photo from 1905 showing a north transept (left). Knowing when the north transept was built would help to narrow the date range further.

    Damaged by fire in 1922, it was rebuilt under the supervision of Richard Orpen and it was re-opened in 1926. from the NIAH

Branding sheep on the Clonbrock Estate, Ahascragh, Co. Galway

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons There ye go.. Michael Carroll, 63 in 1901, Shepherd. The man to his right might be one of his sons. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Cloubroc... If it is the Michael Carroll as per 1901 census then the photograph was taken before 1911 as he had passed away by then. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_...

    This is a fantastic picture of times past and farming practices long gone. Red raddle has been supplanted by dye markers and so on but this image tells a story of an ancient way of identifying your property. I love the stocks to hold the poor sheep while his backside is being burned. In the background the fleeces are being gathered having been sheared just before the branding! Wonderful image.

Milady is the height of fashion!

    Height of fashion, back then. I am guessing she is expensively dressed.

    She wheeled the bench elsewhere and sat on it ! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000521041 Ed. It's the same bench - see evidence of pigeon at left ...

    She must be at Clonbrook House because of these two 1918 photos - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000521048 (see curved wall in background) catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000521046 (see curved addition)
