"Distant view of pier with lighthouse and houses taken from the sea" is Bray

  A wild upside-down guess - Bray ?

• John_McK1966 said:

  beachcomber australia Looks like Bray alright, although I think the lighthouse is long gone.

• Sharon Corbet said:

  beachcomber australia I think you might be right. Streetview from north pier. Then it's after 1897 when the lighthouse was built and before 1957 when it "fell into the sea during a storm."

• beachcomber australia said:

  I cheated! There's a companion 'similar item' identified as Bray and 1905. Mentions the Marine Station Hotel - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000524191

• beachcomber australia said:

  Fascinating beachcombing to the right of frame - "... The submerged forest of Bray was first noted by Robert Lloyd Praeger in the closing years of the 19th century. The construction of Bray Harbour between 1891 and 1895 changed the patterns of sediment transport in the south of Kiliney Bay causing a drop in beach level. As the beach level dropped, the ancient forest of Bray emerged from the sands to the north of Bray Harbour. Praeger noted a forest of collapsed “Scotch pine trees” amid a layer of peat. ..."

  A photo of Waikiki Beach, with Diamond Head as the backdrop. The pier is a private pier belonging to the Moana Hotel, which would be just off the frame to the left.

High and dry on a rocky shore.

  Port Erin?

  Niall McAuley Well done. The first ever choir trip away (the underpinning for much of the Lemur Instant Location Service) was to Port Erin for the Isle of Man Music Festival.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Francis Frith was there in 1897 - www.francisfrith.com/port-erin/port-erin-the-harbour-1897... - not sure if this is earlier or later, but possibly the shed middle left is not yet built in the Mason photo. Or is it out of frame?

• Niall McAuley said:

  beachcomber australia Just out of frame, I think, but look at the ramp/steps in the Mason - I think a concrete job has been done to make it permanent in the Frith. I think the Mason is earlier.
