A Streetview of those buildings from a point at the right middle of shot, behind the seawall, at the top of those steps. The OS 25" names this as St. Patrick's Sawmill. Not sure how St. Patrick feels about that!

NIAH says the sawmill is from 1863.

As you can see from Niall's comments above, this one had been in our Munsterset for quite some time (neglected by everyone but him). It just happens to be the Then of the Lawrence Photographic Project Now photograph - Now being 1990, but we won't fall out over 23 years... :)

Well it's after 1844 anyway. That's the date on the 6" and it's not on that.

In fact, after 1858 - the railway's there already.

The De Vere cross was erected around 1910: This fountain is erected in grateful recognition of the numerous benefits conferred on his native country on the poor and on this neighbourhood by Sir Stephen Edward De Vere Bart, statesman, philanthropist, poet, through whose generous aid and zealous co-operation in conjunction with contributions from others the Catholic Church of Foynes was built. Died 10 November 1904 Aged 92 Years

The ships are camouflaged. It must be close to 1914, WW1 ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_camouflage

They look a bit pre-dreadnought, with those untidy lines; they might be the 6 ships of the Duncan class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan-class_battleship

Possibly 1899? Madam, - In the Lawrence Collection there is a photograph of the Channel Squadron of the Royal Navy at anchor in Killary Harbour in the West of Ireland. I have researched this considerably and have concluded that it was on the morning of Sunday, October 8th 1899. I have examined the logs of some of the ships present and would like to explore the position a little more. If any of your readers have any information which could assist me I would be grateful if they would contact me at the address below, fax 01-6671080 - Yours, etc.,
