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

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 -

From a Google Book source..."Post-Famine Ireland: Social Structure: Ireland As It Really Was" "John O Neill's bicycle factory in Dublin was started in 1894 originally assembling the bicycles but not manufacturing all the parts ( Weekly Irish Times April 5th 1913)" I don't have access to the newpaper archives to look that up!

Bizarre story ... ... In Watty Cox’s Irish magazine for February 1816 there was a vivid account of the punishment of a woman at Geneva Barracks in 1798. Mrs O’Neill travelled from Co Antrim to see her son who was imprisoned at the barracks. By bribing sentries she was permitted an interview but as soon as mother and son saluted each other, she was ordered into the presence of Colonel Scott and his wife. The couple subjected her to a rigorous examination and then handed her over to highlanders for a “blanketing”. Blanketing was a common punishment where the soldiers would grab a blanket, strip the victim naked and hoist them in the air repeatedly. Mrs O’Neill suffered this indignity for more than 20 minutes. She implored soldiers to leave some clothes on but when Colonel Scott saw this departure from custom his wife encouraged him to cut off her clothes with his sword. Locals saw her naked body repeatedly rising and falling above the walls of the barracks. Afterwards the woman was taken to Passage East where she died the next day. The fate of her son was not recorded. ... From - woollydays.wordpress.com/2016/06/27/the-story-of-new-gene...

Geneva Barracks at wikipedia. The barracks gradually fell into disuse in the years following the end of the Napoleonic Wars and were finally closed in 1824.
