"This 'polo' is all that remains of Easington's Windmill which ceased to operate in the 1920s and was demolished in the 1960s. The windmill originally stood at the site now occupied by the Langeled gas terminal." – Ray Duffill, Hedon Blog

Thanks for the info Ray. Such a shame that so many windmills have been demolished.

Excellent!!

Carol Maddock I think I see the waiter on the lawn near the building.

Sold in 2013 for conversion to a private house? See - www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/a-fo... Which has this - "... The 11-bedroom hotel was built in 1805 by Charles Rae, a British navy officer, and has more than six acres of magical gardens, including a front lawn that leads down to the beach, and three converted, self-contained cottages that were used as holiday lets. It had been run as a small but elegant three-star hotel by the Fletcher family since 1948, and had an award – winning restaurant, but the business closed two years ago. Next to Rathmullan House hotel, Fort Royal also has a tennis court and nine-hole pitch and putt course overlooking the sea as well as an arboretum and a walled garden. And as if that wasn’t enough, a 204sq m (2,196sq ft) detached manager’s house was also included in the sale."

The foreshore has lost the rocky outcrops and gained a sandy beach over the last 70 years. Dropped pin maps.app.goo.gl/rQtBPBLgUAACdJKKA

The rectangular sign on the shop looks like a Post Office sign.

Definitely the sea this time, not a lake. The West coast somewhere.

"Possibly a view of Killary harbour at Leenane, Co. Galway.", says the catalogue - I can't find anything ...

Yes, it is possible. This could be the Leenane Hotel before the big double gable part was built on at the left end.

The 3 storey bit would be the bit at extreme right of Cherry Bounce below. We noted at the time that the hotel in that shot looked brand new.
