    At the NIAH. an estate having historic connections with the Stoney family including Lieutenant-Commander Robert Vesey Stoney RNVC (1903-44), killed in action in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, during the Second World War (1939-45); and Lieutenant-Commander Robert Oliver Vesey Stoney (1928-97). Streetview stops at the gate. This photosphere captures the castle from the shore.

    When you look it up on the map you can clearly see that whoever built it wanted to be far away from everyone and to have a decent set of walls to keep them out - if they came calling!

    with this they could catch a really really big fish... I have been looking at yesterday's photo, the sharpness, clarity of the image is incredible - the original negative, pre print pre scan must be amazing

    Looking SE to get those mountains in the background. Google 3D satellite - www.google.com/maps/place//@54.069183,-10.324061,140a,35y... Wiki lists more than its fair share of drama - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackrock_Island,_County_Mayo

    There are a couple of other photos showing the derrick and "N.E. landing place". The second one has a June 1910 date - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000741094 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000740290

    3 Keepers in the 1901 census, John N. Moore with Alexander Murray and John J. Gillispie assisting. All relatively young men, no wives or children on this remote posting. Moore's wife Marie Anne and their 6 children were in a house near the lighthouse at Blacksod Point on the mainland.

    I don't see anything at buildingsofireland/NIAH, but the DIA says the lighthouse is from 1864.

The lady's name was Ivy

    Ivy's (or more properly Mrs Creeper's ?) hotel was larger when viewed from the right - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336124 Can't find it on google maps - HELP !
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the 25", this is as close as I can get - the Hotel was in the trees, the hillside is to our right. The 1930s Cassini map does not mark it as a Hotel, it marks a Doolough House. There are no houses at all on the 1830s 6".
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Much less Ivy Creeper on another different visit - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000316495

    Are we sure this is Co. Galway, not one of the several other lakes of the same name?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    It is in Mayo.
