oaktree_brian_1976 Ooops, the independent adjudicator from KPMG will allow bamboo. I tagged for it because I blindly mistook a thin roof strut as a (dead) bamboo support for the banana palm... But where's the live bamboo?

We've got string beans and onions, Cabashes and scallions, all kinds of fruit and say, we've got an old fashioned potato, a new fashioned tomato, and Yes, we have no bananas NLI you stole (sorry "REPURPOSED" [whatever that means]) a line from my late aunts party piece which she belted out each time she had a few sherries on her! It really got the family going and caused great amusement! I cannot see any obvious bamboo but the fine leaves high behind the banana may just be what you describe!

Swordscookie "Stole" is such an ugly word! I "repurposed" it... :)

I suspect that this is actually Greenville in Kilkenny, just across the Blackwater from Kilmacow. If so, this is the Brown family in the 1901 census.

Mrs. Brown would be Anna C., and widowed by 1901. She gives her occupation as Former Mill Owner in 1901, and Mill Owner in 1911, while her son John is a Manager at 22 in 1901, and both John and Arthur are Millers in 1911.

On the OS 25" you can see the Corn Mill, and nearby, Greenville Mill House, which is where I think the Browns lived. There is also a Greenville House to the East, which might have been their home, but looks to have been a farm.

Slightly to the south is the much larger Kilcronagh house belonging to the De La Poer family, which we have seen before:
