The Strand, Ballinskelligs, Kerry, circa 1900

    What's interesting is the quality and resolution of the glass plate in comparison to the presumably 35mm photo from 1990.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Would imagine it was 35mm alright.
  • Robin Parkes said:
    A good big one beats a good little one every time. Even medium format beats 35mm hands down so you may guess what resolution a 19 x 13cm glass negative has.

    What is really interesting as regards the buildings is how many of the large two storey ones are missing from the 1990 shot. Population density had obviously dropped considerably. The number of farms/cottages and more remote buildings is no greater. The Abbey in the foreground was an Augustinian Priory. A neighbour of mine was from Ballinskelligs and her father was a noted Gaelgoir and author who wrote about the area. He published a book about Ballinskelligs just before he died a couple of years back.

    beachcomber australia Worried someone'll try to give us 122 bumps! Do you give people the bumps on their birthdays in Australia?

    Still derelict I am afraid.

    Moira That's as close as Streetview will get to it - I think it may be further back off the road here maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,571986,843067,7,9 (PS That would make it in Sligo, not Leitrim)

    Inferred hat etiquette: Ladies, but not gentlemen, may remove their hats while enjoying afternoon tea. It seems they can also toss their titfers to the ground.
