    Does "CHRISTIANI" have something to do with anything?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Aha! Christiani & Neilsen Ltd. designed the new lighthouse. See - coastmonkey.ie/kish-lighship/ - including... In 1960 the Commissioners of Irish Lights decided to build a new permanent lighthouse to be installed on the Kish bank. The lighthouse was designed by Messrs Christiani & Nielsen Ltd and it was based on models previously used in Sweden. It would stand 110ft tall and weigh 6,500 tonnes, it contained six bedrooms and had TV and radio facilities with a helicopter pad on the very top. Construction began in 1963 and by June 1965 it was ready to travel out to its new home.

    Launched in 1953, the Guinness ships, the M.V. "Lady Gwendolen" and M.V. "Lady Grania", were the first ships in the world specifically designed for the bulk carriage of beer. Since then the Guinness fleet has added the M.V. "Lady Patricia" launched in Dublin on 11th October, 1962.
    (Ireland's Saturday Night - Saturday 06 March 1965) and
    the Ladies Grania, Gwendolen and Patricia together land 750,000 barrels of Guinness a year at Liverpool and Manchester.
    (Drogheda Argus and Leinster Journal - Saturday 01 February 1964)

    The MV Atlanta was broken up at Rainham in Essex in 1992. The owner of the shipbreaking company Mr Morez was fined £500 after an oil spillage from the ship. It turned out that a valve had been removed by thieves looking for scrap. The valve was of gun metal and of greater value then other stainless steel valves. (Chatham Standard - Tuesday 18 February 1992)

    The lovely Elinor seems to like Butt Bridge, and visited several times. I think this wonderful photo of a lad with a blanket may be the same sunny afternoon - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000048396

    Looks like Dalkey quarry - where the rock for Dun Laoghaire harbour came from.

    wonderful time capsule --and a three master in the bay! The hay racks were in the quarry so image taken from the path above
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think the large house with the towers at left is Ardbrugh House from 1840 (on Ardbrugh Road).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Down in the village, I can see a shop with a very fancy gable end selling Lipton's tea. Streetview says it is a newsagent now, bu more importantly show a date on the gable of 1894. I think the shop is called Leinster House?

    Definitely from above the quarry -
