Port Erin?

Niall McAuley Well done. The first ever choir trip away (the underpinning for much of the Lemur Instant Location Service) was to Port Erin for the Isle of Man Music Festival.

Francis Frith was there in 1897 - www.francisfrith.com/port-erin/port-erin-the-harbour-1897... - not sure if this is earlier or later, but possibly the shed middle left is not yet built in the Mason photo. Or is it out of frame?
Niall McAuley said:
beachcomber australia Just out of frame, I think, but look at the ramp/steps in the Mason - I think a concrete job has been done to make it permanent in the Frith. I think the Mason is earlier.

derangedlemur Correct. There are balls and a net but they are not dressed for tennis. The little boy has a ball in hand.
Sunny Harry said:
It looks like Fota House

DannyM8 I think it is a badminton net (slightly saggy) and those are shuttlecocks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton#History
