Present-day view: Google Streetview Bridge Street, Morpeth.

It is the Black Bull Hotel not the Bridge. It is an old coaching Inn that had a large stable to the rear. The street is Bridge Street. The photo may be a George Washington Wilson his archive is at Aberdeen University, photos he took all over the country between 1850 and 1908

It's Greeba Castle on the Isle of Man. See, towards the bottom of the page here.

See note on Photo. If it is oats or wheat we are in the wintertime as no leaves on trees. Normally it would be thrashed in the Autumn if it was for winter feed ?

Sharon Corbet Well done; no idea how you worked that out! Flickr is sometimes helpful! Hall Caine, novelist, lived in the castle for thirty-eight years (1896-1931 acccording to Wikipedia above) - manxliterature.com/browse-by-author/hall-caine/ Via Culture Vannin . . .

Those cannon look like captured Russian ones from the siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean War (1855). Pairs were sent to every major city in the British Empire - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Sevastopol_(1854%E2%80%931855) . Recently did some digging on two in Sydney, Australia - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2362659579/

Have heard all manner of stories about where they came from - Napoleonic Wars, or from a 19th century British frigate... Found this on 1861 Belfast / Ulster Street Directory: "Two Russian guns, taken during the Crimean war at Sebastopol - both 46 pounders, and bearing inscriptions in Russian characters - presented to the town as trophies, are now mounted in a commanding position, upon the front esplanade of this fine suite of public buildings - for ornament alone, of course", though these two were placed near the Custom House.

Is that a Steamship getting built in the Background?

Dave Colthorpe Anyone better acquainted with steamship shapes field this?

The Pilot Office stood on the north side of the Lagan at the entrance to Spencer Dock. Spencer Dock, Dufferin Dock and York Dock were all enlarged, so where the Pilot Office stood is probably under water now - coordinates are about 54.612026,-5.913563. The Pilot Office had been described as "a collapsed telescope in the Tudor manner". The cannon are from the Crimean War. There are two ships being built in the background at the shipyards of Workman, Clark & Co. This company began in 1879 and pioneered the development of the refrigerated steamer. At their peak Workman, Clark employed over 12,000 employees and was described in Belfast as the "Wee Yard". It occupied 80 acres on the north side of the River Lagan and closed in 1935.
