    [Aside] 1685 was an important year for music. Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti were all born in 1685. www.bachsocietybrasil.com

    Wikipedia has an older 1545 map showing how soggy it was ...
    See - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Cork

    Edit - that Wiki page also has a 1714 map which marks the 'rectangular green area' as "Bowling Green".

    Also in the album ...
    Image 7 of 21 looks like it might be something to do with the 1882 Phoenix Park Murders.
    Image 13 of 21 has a date "1891" 'Grave of the Irish Chief, Glasnevin'
    Image 2 of 21 is this Lawrence photo of Kingstown - catalogue.nli.ie
