The Saw Mill is on the 25", and the ruins are visible on the Google map aerial view: maps.app.goo.gl/mPhRzjX4fWbRKjDK7

History page below, there was a mill here from 1851 to 1999.

As a teenager I worked for a builder in his workshop and occasionally was given the job of taking circular or bandsaw blades to McMahon's timber yard. There I would hand the saw over to a skilled Sawyer who would tune and sharpen it. That was skilled work where the teeth were adjusted by bending the them alternately left and right and then carefully filing the cutting face. I wasn't supposed to linger but I was fascinated with the skill and application of those men.

Here in the 1911 census are Thomas Mortimer, Timber Merchant and boss of the Mill, and his family. Also guest Joshua Elliot, who would later marry daughter Edith and run the mill.

Mason has another shot in the archive titled Mill and Boyne River, but it is the Blackwater unless I have the wrong Mill.

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 -
