    Looks like between Maam and Leenaun somewhere...

    Very sad photograph, hopefully they were living in the little cottage down the road.
  • CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
    That was how the poor lived. It is their home made of sod and thatched roof.

    Niall McAuley John A. Coffey CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY I have some memory there were houses (is that the correct word?) very similar to this one built on farming land in early USA history? Perhaps by Irish settlers.

    It surely looks like a sod house. A grim way of life.

    Mwahahahaaa! So, what've we got? Looking west or south-west. It's a turf bog. Village on a hill behind. Another village at the foot of the hill with what looks like a public toilet but is probably some sort of municipal building - a school maybe? I shall see what I can find.

    derangedlemur lol! You can do it!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In Google or Bing aerial views, the bogs appear bright orange or brown. To the East of Ballymena, the countryside gets too hilly. I fancy this bog to the West.
  • derangedlemur said:
    Niall McAuley That's roughly where I'm looking on the 6" as well.
