clubhouse

It was only built in 1897 so the photo's after that. Unfortunately, it no longer exists as it was blown up in the 1970's.

There's a 1936 photo with some of the history: This club house was opened in 1898 by Mrs W J Pirrie, wife of the managing director of Harland and Wolff; among the well-wishers was Mr Gustav Wolff, also representing Belfast craft of a larger size. The club was 23 years old, and had 300 members to share 'the delightful pastime of rowing'. The lower dock could accommodate the club's 'fleet' of 24 pleasure boats, but racing boats had to tie up at St John's Wharf. A speaker appealed to Belfast Council to complete the scene by building a dock in the Ormeau Park where it bordered the river. The band of the North Staffords provided the music, and the view shows that music was part of the arrangements in 1936.

The boat club is still here, without this Boat House, on Lockview road. You can see oarsmen at work in this Bing aerial view.

The DIA says it was destroyed by fire and replaced in 1912.

We received an email from a granddaughter and daughter of one of the band-members, Leonard Orison Kane, second seated row, 5th from the left, holding a saxophone. "He worked for the Lethbridge Herald as a Pressman, at the time when Senator Buchanan owned this business. L.O. Kane worked at the Herald from about 1910-1911 until his early death in 1931."

The height of the car's headlights suggests a date of at least, let's say, 1925. I'm going to suggest it might be a medium-large Morris, perhaps a Ten Four.

BultacoFan thank you.

I see golf clubs.

There are a few options in Rathfarnham if it is golf? O Mac
