    OSI Map showing "Biscuit factory".

    But the bigger mystery of how they ever got the figs into the Fig Rolls is solved here...
  • John Spooner said:
    Freeman's Journal of May 26 1883 reported a fire at Messrs Jacob's Biscuit Factory in Peter Street. The damage done was enormous", but could have been worse but for the actions of the night watchman, Patrick Mooney, and the Fire Brigade under the command of Captain Boyle and Lieutenant Boyle.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a ground floor floorplan of the factory available and I think I can make out a "cutter room" towards the centre. (However, the floorplans date from 1956, so I presume there may have been a few changes made.)

The blessings of Saint Patrick be upon you all!

    And to us all. And the beautiful St. Patrick's Breastplate prayer is in my mouth today.

Sloops at anchor in harbour, lighthouse on outcrop in distance

    Hmmm. "The Danites" (on the poster extreme right, if I've read it correctly) was a popular theatrical production advertised in the theatrical newspaper The Era at many venues between 1880 and 1900 (mostly 1880s). So I suggest that the picture is near some popular resort with a theatre.

    Looks like Douglas Head Lighthouse, isle of Man. www.flickr.com/search/?q=douglas%20head%20lighthouse
  • John Spooner said:
    The notices for The Danites in the Manx press were all in 1884. This is the first in The Isle of Man Times and General Advertiser (published in Douglas) on Saturday, July 05, 1884

    John Spooner Good call! The lighthouse was rebuilt in 1892, which explains the difference in windows etc, and helps confirm the date. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Head_Lighthouse A tram-ride away from Port Soderick -
