The Examination Hall appears to have been demolished in recent years: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,609797,603942,11,9 It is visible on the 25" map to the left of the building marked 'School' and is also visible on the aerial image from 1995, but it isn't there on the 2000 and 2005 images.

DIA is super-helpful today: Name: BEARY, MICHAEL Building: CO. WATERFORD, MOUNT MELLERAY ABBEY (CAPPOQUIN) Date: ? Nature: MB designed buildings there which were demolished 1997. Refs: Information from from typescript note on Michael Beary written for the IAA by his great niece, Nellie Beary O'Cleirigh, 38 Templemore Avenue, Rathgar, Dublin 6, 10 Dec 1998.

From his bio there: he designed some buildings at Mount Melleray Abbey, which were demolished in 1997. He presented the monks with a stone carving of the Virgin which surmounted these buildings and which has been retained. So may be unrelated.

The church shown is also gone: replaced by a big Gothic church built from the stone from Mitchelstown Castle of recent memory:

Two of the NIAH pieces on Mount Melleray mention slate re-roofing and works in 1910 - from this and the Beary reference, I'll guess this is 1910-15. [Edit - nope!]

Our first non-clydebuilt steamer. This one seems to be from Liverpool (I'm waiting for the evidence to download).

"A new steamer built at Liverpool P.S. Sybil (233 tons) replaced P.S. Meteor and became the youngest packet vessel at the Milford station in 1827. She was also the fastest steamer on the crossing with a record of 8 hours 13 minutes for a sailing between Milford and Dunmore East. " Hmm. I'm not sure that ship looks 70 years old.

NLI has a W.L. photograph of another steamer at the same place.. www.nli.ie/glassplates/L_ROY/L_ROY_03621.jpg
