    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??

    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.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur Everything always looks nicer on the 25"!
  • Stuart said:
    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?
