    Wow! What a beautiful picture, love the reflection of the car in the windscreen!
  • Wendy: said:
    ah the Dalkey bus of yore!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Brian Mulligan Perfect, isn't it? An Anglia, do you think?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Wendy: Still goes to Dalkey. The no. 8 will never die.
  • Colin said:
    That was a Leyland Atlantean demonstrator vehicle, fitted with a Metro-Cammell-Weymann (MCW) body. It went on to serve with four different operators including Lough Swilly. Sadly, although preserved at one stage, it was later scrapped. I'd suggest that the picture was in fact taken outside CIE HQ on O'Connell Street, and the gentlemen shown were almost certainly top brass of the company at that time, evaluating the vehicle. But it was another 7 years before the large batch of what eventually became 640 Atlanteans started to arrive into Dublin and elsewhere in Ireland.

Is it Derek on the derrick, or Windy Wendy on the windlass?

    with this they could catch a really really big fish... I have been looking at yesterday's photo, the sharpness, clarity of the image is incredible - the original negative, pre print pre scan must be amazing

    Looking SE to get those mountains in the background. Google 3D satellite - www.google.com/maps/place//@54.069183,-10.324061,140a,35y... Wiki lists more than its fair share of drama - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackrock_Island,_County_Mayo

    There are a couple of other photos showing the derrick and "N.E. landing place". The second one has a June 1910 date - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000741094 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000740290

    3 Keepers in the 1901 census, John N. Moore with Alexander Murray and John J. Gillispie assisting. All relatively young men, no wives or children on this remote posting. Moore's wife Marie Anne and their 6 children were in a house near the lighthouse at Blacksod Point on the mainland.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I don't see anything at buildingsofireland/NIAH, but the DIA says the lighthouse is from 1864.
