Sidecar, in Kerry, maybe? There are Kanes, shopkeepers, in Cloghane, Dingle peninsula, in the 1901 census.
Niall McAuley said:
Hmm, there are a lot of Kanes in Antrim, and STP 2030 on are all in Antrim...
O Mac said:
Niall McAuley I think you're right about Antrim. I suspect it's somewhere near the Giants Causeway ( townland Ardihannon) and maybe where the Nook now stands. While this Streetview is not of the same house, whoever built the chimneys may also have built those above as they all have the exact same unusual drip detail. Census 1901 Possibility ??
Niall McAuley said:
Lookie here in the Archive - The Causeway Hotel and Kane's Royal Hotel (now demolished )
Niall McAuley said:
And in the distance here. And then, in close-up! This is indeed Kane's Royal Hotel in it's early days, at the Giant's Causeway in Antrim, and O Mac 's census 1901 is correct.

Unusual metal guard rail at bottom - is it something to do with a tramway? Sometimes Flickr is amazing - And in May 2017

Aha! The tram - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dunluce_Castle_%26_Giant%27s_C... From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant%27s_Causeway_Tramway Edit - "...electric power ... ... was originally fed to the trains via an elevated third rail which ran alongside the line ... " Edit 2 - "The section from Bushmills to the Giant's Causeway opened on 1 July 1887. In 1895 a cyclist died of electric shock after coming into contact with the conductor rail. At the subsequent inquiry it was revealed that the line voltage varied from an average of 290 V up to 360 V, and the company agreed to a temporary reduction in the voltage, which limited the number of services that could be electrically worked. The third rail was replaced by overhead electric wire using side poles from 26 July 1899, apparently initially at 250 V."
