    Is it Cobh seen from off Whitepoint?
  • derangedlemur said:
    Or perhaps the view from just off Glasthule?
  • derangedlemur said:
    Might even be Bray again, looking at the OSI, though I'm not sure how the church fits in.

I really wanted a guitar!

    Never knew they had balloons back then, never mind printed ones!!
  • Stuart said:
    A mint & boxed train set like that would be worth a few hundred these days. Highly collectable. That one is probably clockwork.

    The girl is most likely 13 year old Ethel Louisa Dillon.
  • patrick vickers said:
    The young lady seems a little bit old to be still having a doll. And the cricket bat ! surely a sign of an upper class schooling.

    As a child I always wanted such a little steam engine like the one for the boy on the right, but it was too expensive.

    This is Louis and George Meldon (we think). Hodder is an English Boarding School. See here, for further detail:

    Sharon Corbet Scary speedy, Sharon! So, delighted to be arriving at Boarding School?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Hodder Place info on wikipedia. It was the prep school for Stonyhurst. National Library of Ireland on The Commons That's what I thought - particularly finally joining his older brother.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Sharon Corbet So Louie is probably more properly Louis then. And as Hodder Place was near Clitheroe in Lancashire, that makes Louis an honorary Clitheroe Kid.

    Possibly the vase and steps are on the east (shaded) side of the building - Google satellite view - www.google.com.au/maps/place/Hodder+Place,+Knowles+Brow,+... I think the young gentlemen are happy to find a tennis ball in the vase. Finders keepers!

    This was the image I had in mind and which we posted some time ago!

    I have a feeling that they are in fact playing badminton....
  • O Mac said:
    I've a feeling that this could be from the Meldon series. That is the back of this house on Ailesbury Road, Ballsbridge, Co Dublin. Osi 25"
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    O Mac I think you're right - this being the other side of the door in the wall.
  • Niall McAuley said:
