    Wendy: Where are the Sheepdogs?

    It looks like Mr Cronin's establishment says College Street above the door, which would make this Killarney (www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?searchM...), but I can't get a Streetview that matches. The Steeple is not inconsistent with it being Killarney, mind you. Is Killarney sheep country?

    O Mac Your link isn't working for me, but the scene above looks very familiar so I assume you've found a previous incarnation.

Fair Day, Cahirciveen, Kerry

    OS 25" map. from 1895 shows the RC Chapel "in progress". The parish website says it was finished in 1902. At least the exterior looks finished here, so I'd say this is after 1900.

    I hope everyone took care on their way home. Sudden death klaxon! The Hull Packet and Humber Mercury (Hull, England), Tuesday, February 2, 1830, quoting the Limerick Evening Post
    A woman, named Ellen Connell, of Valentia, county Kerry, has been committed to Tralee gaol for the murder of her husband, a decent farmer. She is the mother of seven young children. Her paramour, Denis McCarthy Lawney, a labourer, with whom she indulged an illicit connexion, is also fully committed for the murder, it appearing that they strangled the unfortunate husband on his return from the fair at Cahirciveen, and flung his body into the sea. The body was washed ashore two days after near to the scene of the murder.
  • John Spooner said:
    I came across account of this murder again when going off on tangents from the Valentia photo. I can add is that [ spoiler alert] the pair were found guilty at the Spring Assizes in March and sentenced to be executed the following week.

    John Spooner Interesting!

Chicago's Great Telescope

from The Field Museum Library

  • Neil Robert Getic said:
    This was the biggest Refracting telescope (i.e. using lenses, not mirrors) when it was built, I think it still is, but reflecting telescopes and other devices made refractors somewhat cumbersome devices to use and maintain. It is still housed at the University of Chicago but largely redundant now. I think it was constructed by Alvin Clark & Sons.
