    There are at least another three linked photos Road over Bridge which dates it to 9 February 1937, View from Carrick side and Closer view from Carrick side.

    Well it's Poole, so Carrick is presumably Carrick on Suir. I can't see him schlepping all the way up to Donegal to photograph a soggy hill.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    I think it might be this one (Streetview).

    Nice view of the old mill race bridge down below: goo.gl/maps/jEUPMwPjfSMNJ9fh7 Edit: Actually, it's the overflow from the weir, not the race, but sure some bit of aquatic industrial heritage, anyway.

    It's a Buick motor car. Buick is written on the wheel hubs and the shape of the emblem above the grille is sonsistent with Buick's.

    Borzoibob - accurate! Galsworthy comments on how often horses were needed to haul early autos out of ditches and the like.

    The history of the Buick brand is almost a statement of the history of the American automobile industry. Founder David Buick had to hang on tight in the early days as Buick rode the unpredictable roller-coaster of world events to become not only a pioneer but a frontrunner in automotive manufacturing. Buick, fortunately, attracted the aid of William Durant. Durant was the largest producer of horse-drawn carriages in the country and had several successful businesses. In 1904, he agreed to turn Buick into a viable company. Durant went to the New York Auto Show in 1905. He took orders for more than one thousand Buicks. With these orders in hand, he raised enough money from Flint’s banks to build the country’s largest assembly facility. By 1906, Buick was building 4,600 automobiles a year. 1907 saw Henry Ford introduce his famous Model T. Buick countered Ford’s success with the Model 10. Buick produced 4,000 Model 10 runabouts in 1908, outselling both Ford and Cadillac, making Buick the number one producer of automobiles that year. Together with Louis Chevrolet, Durant formed the ‘Chevrolet Company’ in 1911. It soon outsold GM and challenged Ford. From its very beginnings, the Buick has impacted the whole automobile industry.
