Well, 1895 onwards. Loco looks like the ‘Bat’, Class E no. 110, from 1891 Edit: This loco ended its days on the Waterford to Tramore line up to 1961. In service for 70 years. They don’t make them like that anymore!

Station opened 1895. Looks very fresh here, lime on the red brick, zero weeds in the track bed.

In 1901, Robert John Boag was stationmaster, but he was only 27. I think the gent in the bowler is master here and twice that age. Or maybe the man next to him in the fanciest uniform is Boag, and Mr. Bowler Hat is a boss from the railway company?

There are several pics. In L_IMP_3526 there is a torn poster advertising FAIRS AUGUST, and a noticeboard marked GLASGOW AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY??
Niall McAuley said:
L_IMP_3528 still has neat stacks of red bricks and roof tiles from construction of the station. {EDIT see below, that is one is Clifden, not Achill]

According to www.eiretrains.com the GSR closed the station in 1931, but the line didn't lose passenger services until 1947. The branch finally closed in 1960.

None of the commecial signs - Gilbey's, Murphy's, Fry's Chocolate give any clear indications for dating.

Okay - I think a fair case could be made for a post-1901 dating. Dromdaleague (sic) & Dromdaleague Town are both found in the Bredagh Electoral District in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses respectively. Have a look at the first page of the building returns for each census - 1901: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000587781/ 1911: www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002012724/ Now, Samuel Kingston's pub is found at House 7 in both returns, so I'm confident that we're dealing with roughly the same part of town. However, in 1901, there's no trace of (Richard) Kingston's Hotel with 21 windows in front. Indeed, having searched the other pages of the 1901 census's building return, I can't find trace of any hotel of that size in Drimoleague. So I suspect that the hotel was built post-1901.
