" ... In 1916, the house was cleared and remained empty until 1950. It was inherited in July 1939 by Edwina Mountbatten, who, with her husband Admiral of the Fleet Louis Mountbatten, made several improvements, installing electricity and a mains water supply.[3] After his wife's death in February 1960, Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, spent his summers there until his death when his boat was blown up off the coast of Mullaghmore by the Provisional Irish Republican Army in August 1979 ...

Another Monkey photo says "1954 September" - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000732519

Edit - Also catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000732545 which seems to be identical (?)

Today's photo is several months (or years?) before the March 1956 one that Google found above. See the gardens in the houses bottom left, etc.

I like the puffer train at left.

The factory and Cement Company's Siding are marked on the 1930s 6"OSI map, as well as an Aerial Ropeway to quarries some 3km away.

The ropeway seems to have survived until the 70s, the siding is gone, too.

I see the pylons for the ropeway in todays pic, but they are all gone in Streetview.

Have the horses bolted (see stable doors) as a result of Monkey swinging by? Or not yet in residence? I can't see any horse apples ...

From godolphin.com Woodpark Stud

Woodpark was purchased by the McVey Family in 1939 from Mrs Benson (the former Miss Peard, a name long associated with Phoenix Park Racecourse). Over the following 30 years the McVeys stood the stallions Balidar, Bright News, Tamerlane, Tower Walk, Solferino and Sunny Way. In 1977 James McVey sold the farm to a Mr Fitzpatrick who used it as a grazing farm for cattle. Woodpark Stud was purchased from Fitzpatrick in November 1982 on behalf of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed. In April 1989 the farm transferred to H.H. Sheikh Maktoum al Maktoum's Gainsborough Stud Company. Following the death of H.H. Sheikh Maktoum in 2006, the farm transferred to the Kildangan operation on behalf of Godolphin.

Woodpark Stud is located just outside Dunboyne and it is a farm of 670 acres

There is a Big House named Woodpark on the site on the 1830s 6", but it's gone on the 1900ish 25", usually means it burned down accidentally.
Charles ODowd said:
Every building visible in these images would appear to have been demolished, and replaced with what is presumably an octogonal stud farm and several smaller houses.
