    Still there, with added bits which look religious

    Lots of detail at the NIAH, including that it was taken over by the Sisters of Mercy in 1958. Since the rock band of that name was not formed until 1980, I think they mean the nuns.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The demesne belongs to a Lord Monteagle in the 1911 census, but the Big House seems empty. Likewise 1901. The 1st Baron Monteagle was Thomas Spring Rice, which lines up with the NIAH stating this was the home of Stephen Edward Rice.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    According to thepeerage.com, Thomas Spring Rice was the 2nd Baron Monteagle from 1866 to 1926, covering the entire possible date range of today's picture.

    This might be of interest ... photos of Hollywood star Douglas Fairbanks, Snr visiting Foynes in 1939. Apparently a young JFK was in the plane as well [http://www.flickr.com/photos/ngmcd/sets/72157623815287102/]

  • Irish251 said:
    The aircraft on the left,G-ADHK, is the Short S.21 "Maia", which was used to carry the smaller S.20 seaplane (named "Mercury") piggy-back style. The aircraft in the background is another Short flying boat (but not "Mercury").

    There is no "small seaplane" in this photo.

Hotel, Foynes, Limerick

    The cross was erected in memory of Sir Stephen Edward De Vere, who died in 1904. (The cross at left, I mean. The one up on the hill is from ~1900)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    In both 1901 and 1911, this hotel is owned/run by Ellen Walsh (single). But maybe she didn't change the sign after her father (?) died?
  • John Spooner said:
    Ellen Walsh was left a large sum of money by her cousin, Susan Walsh of Kilrush, but Susan's mother opposed the will on the grounds of undue influence, "and the case appeared to have created much local interest", according to the Cork Examiner of Monday 22 January 1900. The paper reported the court proceedings in great detail. It mentions the deceased staying at the plaintiff's hotel while she was ill.
