Mountain Stage was also the name of a station on the Farranfore to Valentia railway so I'd assume we're somewhere near there. The photo looks very staged. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,462748,589090,11,9

Well, there's a plausible collection of scruffy hovels here, just north of where Glenbeigh station was: www.google.ie/maps/@52.0602417,-9.942601,3a,75y,23.47h,61... maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,466829,591597,11,9

There's plenty of similar wreckage round Mountain Stage station as well, of course. You can't get streetview into it, though.

Not even a solitary window...

The "Similar items" in the NLI catalogue imply that Mr French visited after the railway line and station were opened in 1893. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farranfore_to_Valencia_Harbour_Railway ) I strained my eyes trying to find this hovel via megazoom™ on Mr French's views of the area, with no luck - see catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000318921 & catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000318911 Psst! @ National Library of Ireland on The Commons This one of a wonderful bridge "In Hillsborough Demesne" has crept into the wrong place ! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000332016

John Spooner Hello! Small world! Streetview ?? - goo.gl/maps/wDmjgusHc6qrcojU7 Challenge: name all those cars . . .

Hi! I remember that road going uphill when living at Kiribilli avenue in 1958.I was 14 at the time, now living at the other side of the world in Helsinki-Finland.

wow! i didn't knew that such treasures exist in Flickr! well done guys ;)

I guess nothing changes - taxi drivers are dodgy. Public transport should have priority over cars. A taxi did a U-turn in front of a tram I was on and it was a write off. I took some photos: www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015383/ and the taxi www.flickr.com/photos/furphy/213015543 -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

For admirers of Sam Hood's photos, there is a book - Sydney Exposures, Through the eyes of Sam Hood & his studio 1925 - 1950, [probably] published by the State Library of NSW,

Yes - this book was published by us and was written by our curator of photograhs, Alan Davies. If you are looking for a location of this book near you, you can use this link on World Cat.

We have trams near me and there are still collisions with cars & people - still not looking.
