Steel's Rock & Court House, Ennis, Co. Clare

    Streetview with the courthouse. Another angle in which we see the rock (now painted) peeping out.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    On the OSI 25", and also the 6" from 1840.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    It's properly Steele's Rock, named after Tom Steele: He dreamed of romance and "cherished an ardent sentiment of attraction" for Miss Matilda Crowe of Abbeyfield House, Ennis. He was convinced that she held similar feelings for him, despite the advice he received from his friends. He would stand or sit on a rock, now known as Steele's Rock, on the bank on the river Fergus opposite her house, merely to catch a glimpse of her as she passed by the windows. Sadly for him, she never acknowledged his presence.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Interesting that this one sided romance must have been around 1810-1820, and by 1840 the rock was named on the Ordnance Survey. I can see nothing to help with a date here - the NIAH dates only the Courthouse (1852, no help).
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Niall McAuley The Co. Clare Record of Protected Structures gives a date of c. 1870 for Steele's Rock. (The carving and painting, I presume.)

    Niall McAuley :D But that would give us a date of Star Date 2040! And yep, that's Elvery's Elephant.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Nope as THE Montgomery Scott wasn't born until 2222, in Linlithgow, Scotland ;-)

    Well this isn't much help, but was of interest to me. If you look at the background, you'll see that the statue to William Smith O'Brian isn't there; the statue in the background is Sir John Gray. The Smith O'Brian memorial was erected in 1870, but at the apex of D'Olier St and the quay. It wasn't moved to O'Connell St till 1929. The Gray memorial went up in 1879.
