    That's a beauty! Is that the famous Cave Hill in the background?
  • Robin Parkes said:
    Swordscookie It surely is Sean. The promontory is locally known as 'Napoleon's Nose' for obvious reasons. The castle is as lovely now as it was then.

    There's no streetview from a similar angle, but there is a photosphere nearby (though wongly placed on the map.

    The DIA calls it a "New Scottish Baronial house on slope of Cave Hill by John Lanyon, for Marquess of Donegall. Faced with Cookstown stone with white Scottish stone dressings. Note in B of I files says castle was completed 1870; also lodge." I'm fascinated by the entry in 1922 where "H[enry] S[eaver] said to have 'waved his Prospero's wand' over Belfast Castle."...

    Arthur Square & Arthur Street - Belfast? Update: Oops, just too late...
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a description of the 1881 version of the Theatre Royal here which mentions among other things: "Along the whole of the façade in Arthur-square a covered veranda or porch has been erected of iron and glass; so that the audience waiting for the opening of the doors will be protected when the weather is wet, and those coming in carriages will not have to cross a damp pavement previous to entering the theatre." The veranda can be seen in the Archiseek photo (available in Megazoom in the catalogue.)Meaning that the one above is probably the 1871 version.

Mansion, Blarney, Co. Cork!!
