Could it be near Avoca and would that be the Avoca River? There are old mine workings there.

Robin Parkes It could. Fergus O'Connor took photos around Wicklow alright.

I think Robin Parkes is right, and here's the 25" map link.

Robin Parkes It is hard to tell from modern photos but I think that you are right Robin. There are a few on Flickr and this came up as well. I think that this is a close modern shot of the mines. www.visitwicklow.ie/attractions/avoca_mines.htm Well done!

Here is Jane Byrne, shopkeeper, 56, of Templehusk, Ovoca, Wicklow. Oddly, in 1911 she's 75, while her nephew Martin has mutated into her brother and lost 3 years!
