    Looks like this is all that's left of it: maps.google.ie/maps?q=Kilkee&hl=en&ll=52.680363,-...

    It looks so much nicer on the 25" than in streetview. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,488155,660047,7,9 It's all castles (site of, in gothic script) and Moore's Hotel and what have you. You can't tell that it's just a briar patch and a dingy windswept boarding house.

    derangedlemur Everything always looks nicer on the 25"!

    Carol, so right. That poor neglected donkey, not that that ignorant peasant woman would know any different! People like her get to me.

    I can't imagine the genteel folk riding on that (unfortunately) tatty beast. Given the chains and harness, does it seem more likely that the unfortunate work-horsedonkey was used to move the bathing machines to and fro?

    Looks like it would have to be the view up the Albet Road: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,488634,659984,12,9

    You have outdone yourself with those opening few words. Nothing like a good smile to get the day started. Thanks.

    We visited the Stella Maris Hotel in the distance previously, with the flag fluttering in familiar fashion -

    beachcomber australia Ah yes! But there were no hairy asses about then!

    Bad case of chimney pot gobbling. I see the poster on the coach advertises "Cheap Executions"... Death by donkey??

    Known as bathing boxes, All bathers were obliged to undress in this kind of box. The box would be pulled by donkey to the waters edge, and when the tide turned it would be pulled back up to the sea wall.

    At last; Kilkee !!! My fathers family was from a townland just outside Kilkee called Kilfearagh !!! But this is where everybody ended up. I have 7 or 8 first cousins living in Kilkee.

    Streetview

    I think 1880 looks good, The terrace of two storey houses looks new, and very like this house from c. 1880. OS 25" map is identical, from 1896, totally different from the 1840 6".

    Nearby, and slightly later (I'd guess 1893): Stella Maris Hotel, Kilkee, Co. Clare, late 19th century
