That'd be here, I reckon: www.google.ie/maps/@51.621496,-9.9656728,3a,75y,200.94h,9...

OSI: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,463874,542822,11,7 There's a gap in the 25", so we can't see what the barrier in the sea is, or whether there's a fish saltery there. Perhaps they're smuggling toffee in barrels.

Stuart The two figures are wearing distinctively west-cork caps, while the man is sporting a type of moustache common to the Castletownbere area. The barrels are of the rope tied type favoured to the west of Castletownbere over the more expensive iron bound examples used by the poshos to the east. More prosaically, it looks like west Cork, and a quick scan of the OSI does the rest. It took three or four goes, since I started in Glengarriff and searched west, so a certain amount of luck involved.

Flickr is sometimes amazing! In 2017 via Willi Thiel Wonderful looking place ... a smuggler's delight.

Something says east not west to me, but that doesn't narrow it down much!

Could it be Castletownbere, the hill behind looks the same

Moira our comments crossed - I was going on the light and even the direction of the flag - it could of course be an east facing shoreline on the west coast, which would match with your suggested location

I've just added a note on the image which confirms this as Castletownbere - there's a very distinctive building with arched windows I assume on a staircase as they are not in line with the windows on each floor of the building

Is it Mitchelstown? www.galteemore.com/images/Market%20Square.jpg

The hills look Kerryesque...

Mike I think Woesinger is right in the notes, that struck me as a tidal area past the last of the houses and the feel I got from it was as Niall McAuley says, very Kerryesque. Were they firkins of butter I wonder or barrels of stout? Nice photograph and the keystone image is very unusual.

I've a feeling this is Castletownbere.... Not quite the same viewpoint, but the layout and pub is similar. maps.google.ie/?ll=51.651525,-9.910526&spn=0.007003,0... Corroborating evidence (which is what put me on to Castletownbere) - in 1901, there was a Daniel Moriarty, shopkeeper, living in Castletownbere. On further investigation, he did indeed own a public house. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Killaconen... Very circumstantial, but the layout of the town, the background and the pub seem to match.

Woesinger That looks very like it alright. The estuary appears closer in the old shot but it looks just right. Is that Kingstons on the left of the picture? Perhaps we can verify it from that? Here's another view that might support your hypothesis? maps.google.ie/?ll=51.651525,-9.910526&spn=0.007003,0...
