    Looks like one for the no longer standing album. Here, I reckon: goo.gl/maps/sobwpynQejbBxs1Y9

    Proprietor(?) was Mr. Louis (or Jammet (or should that be M. Louis Jammet?), who gave evidence at the inquest of Mr. Thomas Doyle and Mrs. Elizabeth Doyle. Mr. Doyle had worked at the hotel for 12 or 13 years. (Dublin Daily Express - Tuesday 15 August 1916)

    Louis Jammet in the DIctionary of Irish Biography This says the proprietor was his dad Michel Jammet until 1927, when Louis took over.

    Advert in the Dublin Daily Express 6 August 1896
    BRAY - Springmount Boarding House will re-open August 1. For particulars apply to Mrs Parrack, Springmount Boarding House, Meath Road, Bray.

    John Spooner thank you.

    A 3rd prize winner (one of many) in the Sunlight Soap Competition of February 1897 was Edwin Parrack of Springmount Hotel, Bray, with 1414 coupons. He and his fellow 3rd prize winners won a Rolled Gold Watch. (Flag of Ireland 27 March 1897)


    [The winner won £21 cash with 18,020 coupons, and each of the 10 2nd prize winners (5,484 to 14,183 coupons) won a bicycle.]

    I imagine that to get that many coupons, Sunlight Soap must have been provided in all bathrooms at the Springmount Boarding House.

    Streetview: goo.gl/maps/nz11htPq2n3heGEU8. The tennis courts are still there.
  • derangedlemur said:
    There's umpires on every court, so it's presumably a genuine competition of some sort. It looks like mixed doubles.

    Glens in the news Vol 1 No 9 June 1932 Arrangements are already well in hand for the famous annual Tennis Tournaments at Ballycastle, to commence on Monday, July 11th. The beautiful grounds of the local tennis club will be the venue of the Irish Close Tennis Championships, which are being played for the first time in the North, and will be held during the same week. It is anticipated that all the Irish Davis Cup players will compete, including C.L. Rodgers, who recently gave F. J, Perry, the British Wimbledon hope, a gruelling match. The annual athletic and aquatic festival will also be up to the usual high standard. www.ballycastlehistory.com/glens-in-the-news-ballycastle-...
