    None of the commecial signs - Gilbey's, Murphy's, Fry's Chocolate give any clear indications for dating.
  • Bernard Healy said:
    Okay - I think a fair case could be made for a post-1901 dating. Dromdaleague (sic) & Dromdaleague Town are both found in the Bredagh Electoral District in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses respectively. Have a look at the first page of the building returns for each census - 1901: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000587781/ 1911: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002012724/ Now, Samuel Kingston's pub is found at House 7 in both returns, so I'm confident that we're dealing with roughly the same part of town. However, in 1901, there's no trace of (Richard) Kingston's Hotel with 21 windows in front. Indeed, having searched the other pages of the 1901 census's building return, I can't find trace of any hotel of that size in Drimoleague. So I suspect that the hotel was built post-1901.

Cork birds in a gaggle.

    a day for collective nouns, the swans can be a ballet, a bevy and even a whiteness ! geese can have their noisy gaggle 🙈🙉🙊

    Foxglove I was going to call it a giggle but felt I might be pulled up on that:-) Where I come from a "Bevy" is a rake of pints rather than a collection of swans.

    DannyM8 You're only bringing those in because there are no dogs in the image! I did look, with a magnifying glass but alas no bowlers!

    I was curious about the ABC Tearooms. Not a branch of the British Aerated Bread Co. chain whose tea rooms were a major feature of many towns & cities from the late Victorian era through much of the 20th century, but rather a cafe owned by a Cork businessman Alfred Cole books.google.ie/books?id=zomQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT8&lpg=... and his family. Cole was in partnership with an Alcox & a Brown in a Cork grocery concern, thus the ABC Cafe, as we see in the French photo. In the O’Connor photo we see that it’s a tearoom - one has to suspect that the inspiration might come from the chain restaurant.
