    It's Lisgoole Abbey (according to Lord Belmont in Northern Ireland.)

    Not 100% sure this is the same place. In the 1870s via Internet Archive Book Images Online book - archive.org/details/livesofirishsai01ohan/page/434/mode/1...

    Is the flower bed on the right young roses? From His Lordship's blurb - "A maintained ornamental garden at the house has a rose-garden, originally developed in 1905 and replanted with 400 new roses in 1982; and a pergola. ..."

    On Youtube, the Bard of Lisgoole by Joan Trimble.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Anyway, before 1910 - "The interior is a surprise, for the house was decorated about 1910 by Waring & Gillow, who provided elaborate plasterwork, a curving main stair, and an Elizabethan-style fireplace. at the same time battlements to match the tower were added across the front of the house, making it even prettier."

    It is a pity we cannot read the posters on the left.

    Much changed in appearance Google Earth Link earth.app.goo.gl/nQdzKV #googleearth

    Less a square than a branch in the road. No cars, telegraph poles, so very early. Building on left is likely Town Hall and Courthouse.

    The Post Office does not seem to have a telegraph / phone wire connection (yet).

    The salmon fishery at Belleek came up for sale at the Landed Estates Court in Dublin in July 1867. It was...
    held by fee-farm grant, all lessed to tenants, and producing together a net annual rental of £1,094 4s. 7d., on which there will be a very large increase on the expiration of the existing tenants’ leases, which are now subsisting only for one life, aged about 70 years ... The railway from Enniskillen to Bundoran has stations at Ballyshannon and Belleek, and there is now direct railway communication from these towns to Dundalk and Dublin, affording greatly increased facilities for conveying the salmon and eels to the English markets, and adding considerably to the value of the Fisheries.
    (Freeman’s Journal, 20 June 1867) Eels too. But they’re not sexy, so you don’t hear about eel ladders?

    First impression is that it is Mr Jaunty. Which might put the photo in the early 1880s?
