No idea where it is, but this looks like it might be part of the extensive canal system in Ireland that still exists today. I love the shot! Very picturesque and interesting - but there are too many people in that boat methinks!

Terry Well, I think there was rather more posing than purported boating going on here! Happy enough that it was somewhere near Lurgan, but (as always) would like to pin it down...

There is a Kinnego townland and a Kinnego Bay - both just north of Lurgan on the Lough Neagh shore. There look to be numerous inlets that might match the one illustrated. That area continues to be a popular sailing centre - in fact, I spent a weekend sailing at Oxford Island back in the day.

achesonblog Kinnego sounds very promising, thank you! I'll check it out...

Just seen this - I was brought up in 40's near Lurgan and am sure there was/is a Kinnego.

Amazing, to see a road without any cars.

That's a very wide street. A terrific image.

Someone carrying a load on their head, like in foreign parts. And among the barefoot urchins, are there a few boys wearing what appear to be dresses?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] In The Islandman, Thomas O'Crohan narrates about getting his first breeches, a sort of coming of age, which involved going door to door in the village and getting a coin from every family. He must have been about four or five.
