James Campbell (1830–1904) was a Scottish merchant of timber and other building products based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He founded the hardware firm James Campbell and Sons. In Brisbane, Campbell established a business in George Street initially selling building materials imported from Sydney. Although that first venture failed, he started a new business City Lime, Cement and Plaster Stores on the corner of Creek and Charlotte Streets. Eventually, he was providing many of the materials needed for constructing buildings, including timber, bricks, cement, and pottery which were made locally, along with imported items. James Campbell had a sawmill at Creek Street in Brisbane. Logs were cut in the Blackall Range and upper Caboolture River and hauled to Mellum Creek from where they were rafted down the Pumicestone Passage to the Creek Street sawmill. In 1881, James Campbell decided to establish a sawmill on the Coochin Creek near the confluence with Mellum Creek, from where the sawn timber was transported to Brisbane, initially via sailing cutter and from 1883 by paddle steamer.[5] The township of Campbellville (26°52′28″S 153°02′16″E) of around 100 people developed around the sawmill.[6] There was a wharf with cranes and a provisional school and cemetery. Campbellville lasted until 1890 when the mill closed down. By that time, the North Coast railway line had made it easier to transport logs and timber by rail than by ship.[5] Eventually, Campbell owned sawmills at a number of locations in South-East Queensland and had a number of ships to carry the timber to his wharf and warehouse at Creek Street.[4] Campbell purchased a white sandstone quarry at Albion, Brisbane from John Petrie and built a brick and pottery works immediately north of Crosby Park.

Still there, the gate appears to lead nowhere

Sir George Errington (1839–1920) bought the place in 1900 - perhaps he is responsible for the dubious new gate to nowhere.
"... About 1900 he purchased a house, Ramsfort, and 500 acres at Gorey, Co. Wexford, where he mainly lived in retirement. He was high sheriff of Co. Tipperary (1888) and Co. Wexford (1901) and a knight of Malta (1901). ...

He visited Australia in 1906 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/119937683?searchTerm=R...

And looked like this in 1882 when he was the "unofficial agent of the British government at the Vatican" - via The City College of New York

I care.

A glimpse of Glenmore glamping ...
Perhaps they invented it ?!

Mike Grimes Mike, did they take over from the hotel or was there another life in-between?

On 3rd September 1907 and the four following days, the "complete, elegant and costly appointments of the Glenmore Hotel, Rostrevor" were put up for auction (Newry Reporter - Tuesday 27 August 1907). The owner selling was Mrs O'Leary, and the new owner was a Mr Collen or Collins (the Newry Reporter couldn't make up its mind)

I wonder if the photo was commissioned as part of the sales literature provided to potential buyers?
[On reflection, probably not, as the auctioneers R. M. Gray were a Belfast company. Would they commission a Dublin photographer?]

Edit: But ... the catalogue for the sale had "a capital view of the picturesque mansion on the cover". There were 1200 lots.

John Spooner I'd say this was just a normal workaday shot for Robert French, roaming photographer. Though people often bought Lawrence prints for their own use/enjoyment...
