    I never realized it is red! In 2014 via RoystonVasey, who gives a little more history... "This Town Clock structure was built in the late 1800’s. The lower section original housed the scales for the weighbridge outside on the left. Initially there was just the lower section but the Knight of Kerry decided to make the building more aesthetically acceptable by adding the upper Clock Tower including a four faced clock. Unfortunately, the clock was put out of commission in 1922 by some Free State Soldiers or so the story goes. Like all stopped clocks, it remained an eternal liar up until 1990 when it was restored to full working order..."

    "First established in the 1830s, the Royal Hotel Valentia has played host to two future Kings of England in its time and took the name ‘Royal’ after a visit from Queen Victoria’s son, Price Arthur at the end of the 19th century. " From the Hotel's website - royalvalentia.ie/hotel/ , which also includes a similar view which another site dates as 1904 - www.rareirishstuff.com/kerry/royal-hotel-valentia-valenci... Edit - the image is this one - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320496

    I think Mr French was on the old bridge. Streetview from the new bridge shows the warehouse with the bite taken out of its roof is still there (see note) - goo.gl/maps/q2DjHZK5GBT2
