I’m afraid it’s one for the No Longer Standing album - according to a brief article on the castle it was demolished by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1944.

"Rostellan House was built by William O’Brien (1694-1777) the 4th Earl of Inchiquin in 1721. He built Rostellan as a replacement of the ageing old castle. He built this mansion for his wife Lady Anne (Anne Douglas-Hamilton) who was the 2nd Countess of Orkney. It was demolished in 1920."

Rostellan lost its roof and contents in the early 40s, taken over by the land commission, subsequently demolished.

When did the Cathedral get it's spire?

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] New side chapel & sacristy (Blessed Thaddeus Chapel and sacristy built by John Sisk); completion of tower & spire (spire built by J. Maguire, Cork); carving to front by Harrison & Sons; further additions. Consecrated Aug 1919.

It's a cracker of a shot with tremendous detail in it. Obviously taken from a very stable base given the clarity. The Pissoir is indeed different but not too different really though it looks as though it can only accomodate two and with a decent degree of seperation! I can't see any dogs yet but I am sure that somebody will;-)

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Carol, have you any idea what has been crossed out between Queenstown and WL? Is it a date and do you know it??????????

Swordscookie Off to have a look at the super-duper-sized (technical term) image! Please hold, your call is important to us...

Oh lovely! So much action here. I think that is a White Star line pennant on one of the wee ferrying tenders against the quay. (I can't get the notes to move into place this morning!)

I supect for vintage she was this ship en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warspite_(1893) which began life as HMS Hermione and was renamed HMS Warspite. But according to Wiki there were nine ships with that name. She could be the next one that was launched in 1913.
derangedlemur said:
It's a pre-dreadnought ship, anyway, so 1893 is plausible.
Vab2009 said:
The name on the closest paddle steamer seems to be ".......... Fox"
derangedlemur said:
It's also a cruiser rather than a battleship. In fact, it looks very like the refitted 1884 Warspite: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warspite_(1884). Scrapped in 1905.
