OS 25" map. from 1895 shows the RC Chapel "in progress". The parish website says it was finished in 1902. At least the exterior looks finished here, so I'd say this is after 1900.

I hope everyone took care on their way home. Sudden death klaxon! The Hull Packet and Humber Mercury (Hull, England), Tuesday, February 2, 1830, quoting the Limerick Evening Post

A woman, named Ellen Connell, of Valentia, county Kerry, has been committed to Tralee gaol for the murder of her husband, a decent farmer. She is the mother of seven young children. Her paramour, Denis McCarthy Lawney, a labourer, with whom she indulged an illicit connexion, is also fully committed for the murder, it appearing that they strangled the unfortunate husband on his return from the fair at Cahirciveen, and flung his body into the sea. The body was washed ashore two days after near to the scene of the murder.

I came across account of this murder again when going off on tangents from the Valentia photo. I can add is that [ spoiler alert] the pair were found guilty at the Spring Assizes in March and sentenced to be executed the following week.

John Spooner Interesting!

Magnifica!

I would bet they are at Molls Gap

Fantastic photo. Love the old charabancs.

DannyM8 wow, even the clouds are the same :-)

This from 1979 looks like similar concrete posts, holding a different sign. The same stranded loco can be seen in the background there, so this is the platform at Mallow Station, as you guessed.

Here's a page about Loco 90!

Good to see that loco is still going strong.

Buenos trabajos hacen.

ClicKen, in 1967 that was most certainly a museum piece. The diesel engine and railcar were very much in use at that time and the transition from diesel to steam was almost if not completely at an end.
