    A wild upside-down guess - Bray ?
  • John_McK1966 said:
    beachcomber australia Looks like Bray alright, although I think the lighthouse is long gone.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    beachcomber australia I think you might be right. Streetview from north pier. Then it's after 1897 when the lighthouse was built and before 1957 when it "fell into the sea during a storm."

    I cheated! There's a companion 'similar item' identified as Bray and 1905. Mentions the Marine Station Hotel - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000524191

    Fascinating beachcombing to the right of frame - "... The submerged forest of Bray was first noted by Robert Lloyd Praeger in the closing years of the 19th century. The construction of Bray Harbour between 1891 and 1895 changed the patterns of sediment transport in the south of Kiliney Bay causing a drop in beach level. As the beach level dropped, the ancient forest of Bray emerged from the sands to the north of Bray Harbour. Praeger noted a forest of collapsed “Scotch pine trees” amid a layer of peat. ..."

    a lot of the window glass in the upper levels is broken. any reasons. was the house still occupied when the photo was taken ?
  • Fred Dean Snr. said:
    Its just reflection, the glass process was very different then, and panes were very slightly convex or rippled during manufacture.
  • Foxglove said:
    thanks Fred

    Flickr is sometimes amazing! I think this is the same facade (east?) in 2017 via Danielle, showing how much of the building was demolished and/or remodelled in the 1950s (see wiki link above)
