Bridging the divide

    The castle-like building is the RIC Barracks. That’s the old train line from Cahirsiveen to Valentia Harbour which operated 1893 to 1960. The left bank is known as “over the water” to the people of Cahirsiveen.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Streetview, not a very close one, but the bridges and turrety building are still there. The railway is not. The turrety yoke is the RIC barracks of 1875.

    The box girder bridge is from 1893.

    Looks like all the principal features except the railway station have survived: both bridges and the barracks are extant

    The card was originally monochrome but has been poorly colourised.

    There is another photo from the same series, from further away -

    ... which makes me think this is the building, with later additions. Door, window positions, and chimneys match, if you disregard the extension on the right - maps.app.goo.gl/jLZLmLtt9j99izTMA

    "History of Arbutus Cottage (Gap of Dunloe)

    19th-Century Furniture Hub: Built in the 1880s, the cottage originally served as the workshop for master cabinet maker James French. French specialized in "Killarney work"—intricate woodwork and furniture carved and inlaid with native arbutus and bog oak timber found in the Killarney National Park.

    Royal Seal of Approval: The cottage's workshop was so renowned that in April 1885, the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) visited the property to view the famous inlaying and carving industry firsthand."

    A lot of history here - www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthouses/inishtearaght....
    This may help with dating -
    " ... An aerial hoist on the rock over the south landing was erected during 1906-07. Incandescent apparatus using vaporised paraffin burnt in a mantle replaced the multi-wick oil burner in March 1909.

    beachcomber australia Only mention of a hoist, so 1906-1907 looks good, thank you.

    “Inishtearaght (Inis Tiaracht) is one of the Blasket Islands and is probably the only Irish lighthouse that ordinary Joe Soaps like you and me will never get a glimpse of. This is a shame because it is one of the great lighthouses of the south-west of Ireland. But alas, it is a long way out, the lighthouse is on the far side of the island and no boats go out that far.
    It is of course, Ireland's most westerly lighthouse”
