milestone

The one in Co. Dublin. Apparently although it's now on Main Street (Streetview) it has moved around a bit: "In 1865 there was a huge controversy over whether or not the cross should be removed completely. Instead the cross was moved and a new base was built for it. Having been at a few locations, the cross is now on Main Street. The present day cross is smaller with parts having been removed from it."

That's a milestone beside it giving distances to Dublin and Kingstown (1 7/8 miles? Sounds about right.)

25" OSI Map showing Market Cross and M.S. for milestone, which probably is the position of the cross in the photo above, and definitely this Lawrence collection shot.

Sharon Corbet The modern Central Café is at #42, which confirms that the cross in this shot is in the position marked in the OSI 25". Temple Road has been widened since, and the shops labelled Magrath as well as Marsden in the Lawrence and this Mason from a different date are gone now.

Marie Magrath was a Retired Draper in 1901.

It's becoming a great collection.

cigs as props, unlit. cool guys. fantastic collection.

Streetview?

Sharon Corbet Oh yes!

There's some information available on "Eastern Lodge/Villa" at the History of Newcastle, Co. Down Facebook, including pictures of the inside, and a couple of pictures of the house over the years. Eastern Villa (later called eastern Lodge) was built around the late 1870s by H Smyth JP, who was a civil engineer and the County Surveyor. He built it with a water tower that ingeniously collected water by gravity, piped from further up the mountain. Mr Smyth lived here until the mid 1890s, when it was taken over by Daniel McCartan, a solicitor, and Clerk of the Town Council. He was still living there in 1918.

It looks like Wicklow.... Think the mountain is the Sugar Loaf. At a guess it is one of the many roads around that area. The style of house is correct.

Oops! I was wrong then, sorry!
