    Taken from the bridge on Bridge St. looking North: Streetview
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the 25", the large building at left is a Distillery, the more distant one at far left a corn mill. On map and this shot the building at right is a woolen factory. In streetview we see the 1960s Cathedral dome (or Taj Michéal as it is sometimes known).

    One of the men is wearing a boater, probably 1900-1910.

    NB - North is at 4 o'clock. Going by the pattern of the roads, I think this is the area on GoogleMapsSatellite -
    www.google.com

    The brown area on the satellite is marked as bog on the map.

    Bottom right(-ish) is "Clonbrock Desmene". Is that our old friends, the Dillons, and The Great Augusta ?
  • O Mac said:
    Here's a "Pin" placed where the 48 is in that triangular pink field on the right above. Note Google map is rotated such as North is facing SE as per map above.

    Edit - photo used in the Wiki article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballymore_Castle
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The NIAH says Detached three-bay two-storey country house, built c.1810, facing north, having bowed entrance bay, two-bay side elevations, slightly recessed single-bay single-storey addition to east end, and multiple-bay two- and three-storey additions to rear elevation, built onto front of four-storey tower house of c.1585, and makes a passing reference to the "Seymour mausoleum" nearby.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    On the record for the Mausoleum, it says The family mausoleum of the Seymours, who acquired Ballymore Castle and its lands around 1700 and remained there until the early twentieth century, so the Seymours probably owned the castle at the time of this pic.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There seems to be several Ballymore Castles. I don't think this is today's Galway one -

    Census for 1901 shows a house belonging to a WG Seymour in the townland, but it is vacant.
