    Could it be near Avoca and would that be the Avoca River? There are old mine workings there.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Robin Parkes It could. Fergus O'Connor took photos around Wicklow alright.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think Robin Parkes is right, and here's the 25" map link.

    Robin Parkes It is hard to tell from modern photos but I think that you are right Robin. There are a few on Flickr and this came up as well. I think that this is a close modern shot of the mines. www.visitwicklow.ie/attractions/avoca_mines.htm Well done!

    Here is Jane Byrne, shopkeeper, 56, of Templehusk, Ovoca, Wicklow. Oddly, in 1911 she's 75, while her nephew Martin has mutated into her brother and lost 3 years!

Oh or Ah Voca it's still a jewel in a green crown

    The pub was still called Moore's in the 2009 Streetview, but if you flip to 2019 it is called The Farriers Inn

    Catherine Moore, hotel proprietress, Avoca 1911. With husband Patrick in 1901.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From the 1911 Form B1 (House and Building Return we see that Catherine Moore ran the Hotel. There is a public house, but it is run by Frederick Fahy.
