" ... The course opened on Saint Stephen's Day 1894 with nine holes. It was extended to eighteen holes in 1896 with a new clubhouse and a further nine holes were added in 1971. ... " From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmarnock_Golf_Club So is this tin shed the old or new 1896 clubhouse - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000043310 ??

The wiki article above has this photo with "c1900" which implies the tin shed was the new clubhouse.

Architecture of Dublin is always amazing! ...

There are terraces of tall houses/chimney stacks on the skyline. Looking at the 25" 1900ish map, the only possibility I see is Baldoyle.

If I'm expected to produce extra sticky buns, then I need at least 24 hours' notice... 😀

It looks like it might be this windmill: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,720250,744524,11,7 If so, it appears that the site (and the base of the structure) may have been preserved on a promontory within the quarry: binged.it/2xO0y4W

Rory Sherlock The Bing bird's eye view is pretty cool, too.

From the Independent July 1 2005 Feltrim Windmill THE story of the Feltrim windmill is one of the most dramatic in terms of Fingal’s heritage. Had it stood today, it would have matched Skerries for one of the most beautiful sights in the region. All that remains of the structure is part of the interior but even that is striking in its design. It should be noted that the structure is fenced off and on private property. The Feltrim windmill was built in the late 1600s from red Dutch bricks (still there) and by Dutch workers. It was used as a woolen mill to start and then a corn mill for up to 100 years, ending in the great storm of 1839 when the giant sails were blown off. It still stood magnificently for many decades later until 1973 when it was demolished on a Saturday night, ending centuries of dominance of the Feltrim skyline.

I see a Martello Tower in the distance, but can't decide if it's the one in Portrane or Rush.
