    Given the amount of horseriding boots on display, and the fact that the photos before and after in the sequence are of the jumping enclosure, I'd say it's a Horse Show.

    Sharon Corbet I was thinking that the boater indicated a warmer season and Spring in Ireland is rarely that warm:-)
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Swordscookie I would wonder whether summer in Ireland is that warm :-)
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    It can't be between 1914 and 1919 because there were no Horse Shows thanks to WWI. "The Horse Show Committee made the decision due to the continued occupation of their grounds at Ballsbridge by the British military."

    1907 to 1912? Watson’s Clontarf Nurseries were in Clontarf from at least 1900, but didn’t open their Nassau Street branch - pardon the pun - until August 1907 (Leinster Express). They provided all floral displays for the Royal Visit to Dublin in 1911, from building decoration to bouquets for the visiting dignitaries. Can’t find anything after November 1912 (Irish Independent) for them being at Nassau Street, but will keep checking.

Prior to the RDS the Garrison was the place to be!

    There is a townland called Garrison near Erril, not a million miles west of Rathdowney, with just one house on the historic maps.

    There is still a farm and farm buildings here, I can't tell if this house is still standing in some form: maps.app.goo.gl/rCErac7aHLivgaJEA
