  Ball at Rugby Club !

  Wondering if this might not be one of Mr Ball's photos? The children in these related(?) photos look much more recent than 1909 ...

  Not sure that they’re antennae, seems Mizen Head operated fog signals from 1909, a radio beacon from 1931 www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthouses/mizen-head.aspx

  Three men and a three-legged dock-tailed Dog. History and details - www.irishlights.ie/tourism/our-lighthouses/mizen-head.aspx . Surprised to see the bridge dates from 1907. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000741407/HierarchyTree?recor...

• John Spooner said:

  i suspect that what we can see are not antennae but supports for the actual antennae, which would be in the form of long wires, required for the longer wavelengths which would be all that was available in the early 20th century.. I no longer think this.
