    The bearded man looks like Edward Nangle, but he left Achill in 1852 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Nangle (warning - not a happy story)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The church is called St. Thomas's, the dia puts it at 1852, nearly 20 years later than the 'colony' nearby.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley Yes. Wiki has 1855 for the church opening ...
    St. Thomas Church
    In 1848, a site was obtained for a new church in Dugort. The church was eventually erected with the aid of funds from a widow in Cheltenham, England who had donated a sum of £2,400. On 18 March 1855, St. Thomas Church was opened for divine service by Bishop Plunkett.[9] The service was attended by 500 people including one convert of 107 years of age who walked five miles to attend.

    two of the buildings in the town still have thatch as roofing material. most street views usually have town streets with slate. No dogs on view but the cycle at the top left has the power of independent self balancing while the other is presented in Flann O'Brien action

    Gregory PC Thank you. Now added to Flickr map.

    Foxglove That looks like a motor cycle and it does appear to be up on its stand? Looking at the notices on the wall beside the peeler it looks like he was standing outside the RIC Barracks ?

    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., BRENDAN WALSH, 34 Upper Baggot Street, Dublin 4. 21/06/2003 See - www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/royal-navy-ships-at-ki... Now, what extra information can we find? ... ...
