    It looks like it might be this windmill: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,720250,744524,11,7 If so, it appears that the site (and the base of the structure) may have been preserved on a promontory within the quarry: binged.it/2xO0y4W

    Rory Sherlock The Bing bird's eye view is pretty cool, too.

    From the Independent July 1 2005 Feltrim Windmill THE story of the Feltrim windmill is one of the most dramatic in terms of Fingal’s heritage. Had it stood today, it would have matched Skerries for one of the most beautiful sights in the region. All that remains of the structure is part of the interior but even that is striking in its design. It should be noted that the structure is fenced off and on private property. The Feltrim windmill was built in the late 1600s from red Dutch bricks (still there) and by Dutch workers. It was used as a woolen mill to start and then a corn mill for up to 100 years, ending in the great storm of 1839 when the giant sails were blown off. It still stood magnificently for many decades later until 1973 when it was demolished on a Saturday night, ending centuries of dominance of the Feltrim skyline.

    Top left says Old Mill on Poddle River, Dolphin's Barn, 1893.

    Which confused me, as I didn't think the Poddle flowed through Dolphin's Barn.

    But looking at the 6" and 25", I see Rutland Mills, with a mill race coming from the Poddle.

    The mill would have been at the junction of Rutland Avenue and Clogher Road.

    In Google's aerial view linked below, you can still see where the mill race left the Poddle beside (now) Mount Argos Square

    Bottom right

    Perhaps top right refers to Emmet’s hideaway, not Lord Edward?
    If so, that house is long gone
  • Niall McAuley said:
    On the 6", the stone which splits the Poddle is marked as Tongue and the small townland Tonguefield.

    But in Google maps, it is marked as Stone Boat, which is where the Kimmage pub gets its name.

    " ... Arrest and death
    Lord Edward's hiding place with the feather merchant Nicholas Murphy was betrayed to the spymaster Francis Higgins (qv) by the secretive catholic barrister Francis Magan (qv), who received the £1,000 reward. At seven in the evening on 19 May, an arrest party led by Major Sirr (qv) burst into his upstairs room at 151 Thomas Street in the heart of the Liberties. FitzGerald fiercely resisted arrest, killed one man with his dagger, but sustained serious injuries himself when Sirr shot him in the shoulder at point-blank range. He was taken to Dublin Castle and then jailed in Newgate. ..."

    "House at Harold's Cross Bridge, Dublin where it ____ Lord Ed Fitzgerald was concealed"

    A pair of twin Dutch Billy's near Harold's Cross bridge with a cruciform roof plan, long since demolished, I wonder how long they lasted. I don't recall ever seeing them or that particular photo before. Likely on the Northern side of the bridge anyway.

Shop Street, Drogheda, same day?

    Seems to be some sort of voodoo effect as well. All those cracks in the plate have made that hotel fall down: maps.google.ie/?ll=53.713574,-6.349218&spn=0.003645,0...

    Worth comparing with this later photo from the early 20C

    Isn't it great to see the old symbols of trade, the Pawnbrokers three globes, the barbers red and white pole etc. Simple and effective advertising though everybody could see you when you went in to pawn the Sunday suit:-))
