Sawmill, Foynes, Co.Limerick, circa 1890

  • 9 older comments, and then…

    A Streetview of those buildings from a point at the right middle of shot, behind the seawall, at the top of those steps. The OS 25" names this as St. Patrick's Sawmill. Not sure how St. Patrick feels about that!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    NIAH says the sawmill is from 1863.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    As you can see from Niall's comments above, this one had been in our Munsterset for quite some time (neglected by everyone but him). It just happens to be the Then of the Lawrence Photographic Project Now photograph - Now being 1990, but we won't fall out over 23 years... :)

    Well it's after 1844 anyway. That's the date on the 6" and it's not on that.
  • derangedlemur said:
    In fact, after 1858 - the railway's there already.

    A prototype of some test version of refinery technology?

    We recently found some old catalog cards for Harris & Ewing that had a caption for this photo. The caption for this photo should be: “UNCLE SAM HAS TURNED DISTILLER” In the campaign to outwit bootleggers and at the same times develop a non-poisonous denaturant for alcohol, the Prohibition Bureau has set up a modern copper still of miniature “commercial” proportions in the laboratory atop the United States Treasury building in Washington, to give severe practical tests to all tentative formulae. The business of this new still is do the same thing the bootlegger does--take the poison out of denatured alcohol but at the same time make it disagreeable to the taste. G.F. Beyer, chief chemist of the Prohibition Unit, is shown in the picture."
