For once, O'Dea was not documenting transport closures. From wikipedia: From 1873 to 1951 there was a ferry service between Greenore and Holyhead. The London and North Western Railway constructed a substantial hotel and railway station to serve passengers using the ferry. The original railway line ran from Dundalk to Greenore and the first service was 1 May 1873 when the station opened. In 1876 the railway line was extended to Newry. In the 19th century there was a ferry from Greencastle to Greenore. The railway and the station closed on 1 January 1952 and was replaced by bus services to Dundalk and Newry.\

ah it's the daily dog race and I was caught in the traps

There's a distinct lack of the kinds of signs & products that usually give us clues re: dating. The name of the street doesn't help - the 1901 Census uses 'Mill Street', but the late 1890s 25" map calls it Parnell Street, even though Parnell Street is a re-naming of Mill Street. The only sign I can make out is a damaged sign for Prescotts Dye Works Dublin. Does that help with dating?

"Sarah (Perry) Malcolm is standing by a window in the centre of the old black and white photograph of Coole House. Lying to the right is Sarah’s sister, Mary (‘Minnie’) Louisa (Perry) McCulla, to the left is Harry Perry, who has been mistaken for the gardener in some comments on the photograph; above him on the knee of a maidservant is Sarah’s child, Ernest Ray Malcolm; and another, unidentified woman is in the background. Sarah Perry had emigrated to America, where she married, and then moved to Vancouver in Canada. She had returned in Millstreet when the photograph was taken. Ernest Sarah is by the window, and her. Ernest Malcolm later returned in 1990 and visited Millstreet Museum." Patrick Comerford www.patrickcomerford.com/2017/08/the-restoration-of-coole...

Funnily enough I met a little girl just like her last evening while shooting the sunset. Great image, does seem to be choreographed very well.

The house has lost its middle chimney, so is now even Cooler . . . Streetview - goo.gl/maps/svK4pfHSXmALPVhB6
