    Here's a page with information about the Dietz Lamps boxes they are standing next to: www.lanternnet.com/faqs.htm quoting: "The Dietz Blizzard was first introduced in 1898 as the No.2 Cold Blast , and is one of only three lanterns that has remained in continuous production for over 100 years. ... Millions of Blizzards have been produced since 1898, making it one of the most common lanterns in the world." W.T. Kirkman

    A little history - " ... Over 100 years ago, this historic building was a busy centre of enterprise exporting 40,000 salmon to Scotland annually. Throughout those guaranteed (pre-global warming) freezing winter days farmers from all over the area would pack tons of snow onto their horses and carts and draw them down in convoy to the Ice House. The ice would then be pushed down through an opening in the ground floor to the basement – at river level – which was known as Iceland. The aperture has been maintained in the renovated building and now looks down into the atmospheric restaurant. Overlooking the River Moy and its meandering and breathtaking estuary, the Ice House was built almost a decade before the Great Famine, in 1836, as the home of the fishery managers. It was composed of the living quarters, an ice store, workshop and boathouse for the fishery boats. ... " From - www.mayonews.ie/archive/3-news-features/3241-ice-house

    Exporting salmon to Scotland sounds a bit coals to Newcastle.

    NIAH 6" link shows Salmon Fishery Ice Ho.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From the NIAH link, this is after 1868: A house reconstructed by Mary Anne Lowther Little (d. 1868) widely accepted as a particularly important component of the domestic built heritage of the outskirts of Ballina with the architectural value of the composition, one retaining the vaulted footings of a "Salmon Fishery Ice House" marked on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey (surveyed 1838; published 1839), confirmed by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on a somewhat featureless doorcase; the uniform or near-uniform proportions of the openings on each floor with those openings showing pretty cast-iron balconettes; and the miniature gablets embellishing a high pitched oversailing roofline.
