I hope this is the right way to do this - it's my first time! I have adjusted the levels of the image and it reveals more detail: c1.staticflickr.com/9/8224/28862836120_51eb39fb8e_o.jpg

Via Trove, here is a delightful and extraordinary story of two brothers, Rowland and Aremberg Blennerhassett (sons of the man who built the windmill ? - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blennerville_Windmill), who set out from the wharf in the photo at 5am on 29 June 1844 in a 24-foot open boat. They rowed, pulled and sailed to Dublin via Kilrush and inland waterways, so that they could pay their respects to the Liberator, Daniel O'Connell in prison. ... ...

Great editing job by BultacoFan and both beachcomer australia and O Mac as as informative as ever.

It looks like there's a whole little story here - first the 4T engine fails. You have a 6T arriving to help followed by the 6T hauling it all away...

Oddly, this is supposedly after the line closed. This is the Cavan & Leitrim Railway as featured earlier in Ballinamore, which closed on March 31st 1959. www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/16618218853/in/photostream/

Is the windmill missing it''s sails? Was it derelict then?

The windmill is from 1790, per the DIA. It was derelict from 1850.
