    Where was Titanic constructed? Or, where is the Harland and Wolff shipbuilding company, in this photo?

    There is a lot of evidence of Herr Hitler's visits. St Anne's Cathedral (see note) is not yet repaired - " ... In 1941 the cathedral was almost destroyed by a German bomb, which caused extensive damage to surrounding properties.[2] In 1955 work began on the construction of the ambulatory, at the east end of the cathedral. This work was dedicated in 1959, but it was not for another ten years that it was possible to begin work on the north and south transepts. The Troubles and inflation led to long delays and major problems with the financing of this work. ..."

    Have the horses bolted (see stable doors) as a result of Monkey swinging by? Or not yet in residence? I can't see any horse apples ...

    From godolphin.com Woodpark Stud

    Woodpark was purchased by the McVey Family in 1939 from Mrs Benson (the former Miss Peard, a name long associated with Phoenix Park Racecourse). Over the following 30 years the McVeys stood the stallions Balidar, Bright News, Tamerlane, Tower Walk, Solferino and Sunny Way. In 1977 James McVey sold the farm to a Mr Fitzpatrick who used it as a grazing farm for cattle. Woodpark Stud was purchased from Fitzpatrick in November 1982 on behalf of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed. In April 1989 the farm transferred to H.H. Sheikh Maktoum al Maktoum's Gainsborough Stud Company. Following the death of H.H. Sheikh Maktoum in 2006, the farm transferred to the Kildangan operation on behalf of Godolphin.

    Woodpark Stud is located just outside Dunboyne and it is a farm of 670 acres

    There is a Big House named Woodpark on the site on the 1830s 6", but it's gone on the 1900ish 25", usually means it burned down accidentally.
  • Charles ODowd said:
    Every building visible in these images would appear to have been demolished, and replaced with what is presumably an octogonal stud farm and several smaller houses.

    Today's photo is several months (or years?) before the March 1956 one that Google found above. See the gardens in the houses bottom left, etc.

    I like the puffer train at left.

    The factory and Cement Company's Siding are marked on the 1930s 6"OSI map, as well as an Aerial Ropeway to quarries some 3km away.

    The ropeway seems to have survived until the 70s, the siding is gone, too.

    I see the pylons for the ropeway in todays pic, but they are all gone in Streetview.
