    What a dramatic photo! The sheer scale of material mining is awesome. I found a historic description from the Institution of Mining Engineers (Great Britain). - 1903 - Technology & Engineering books.google.com/books?id=ufUQAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA675&l... Looks like the quarries near Carrick-on-Suir provided a lot of slate for roofing today www.killoranslate.ie/about-killoran-slate.php I imagine it was important building material for fencing, buildings, roads, etc. in the past as well, and I would imagine a lot of it being exported too. Some geological info on quarries in the vicinity www.gsi.ie/NR/rdonlyres/B8AACB00-8FD9-424D-A659-122E183F9... *see page 9 Perhaps others can shed more light? Fantastic photo, thank you for sharing!

    The only O Connors in Carrick on Suir in 1901 that fit the bill are listed here.
    www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Carri...
    If so this would be Kathleen. There are two photos of a Mrs OConnor in the archive with the same date as above
    Possibly the ma.. Ellen.
    Mr. William O Connor.. the da.. was not at home in 1901 but is in 1911. He was an RIC constable

    O Mac the hair down suggests she is young, but surely older than 9!

    It may be a Carrick which is not on Suir.

    catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591340
    She's pretending to read 'The Lady of the House' - can someone see the date ?
  • O Mac said:
    Niall McAuley you could be right... is there other "Carrick"s down that aways? Not much else to go on.

    South Lodge on the 25" map.

    I think this is South Lodge in the 1911 census, John Quinlan and family.
