    The line opened on 1 July 1895 and was closed on 29 April 1935. It's not the sea, it's Glendollagh lough.

  • Niall McAuley said:
    I see construction in the background - is that the station going up? The station opened on 01.07.1896 1897 Nature:'The Recess hotel is now far advanced. The hotel in the Eason has a visible 1898 in the brickwork.

    From wikipedia: The Railway built an hotel at the station at Recess.[7], with a one platform halt specifically for the hotel in 1902 some 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the main Recess station towards Maam Cross and Galway. So I think this is between the 1898 hotel opening and the 1902 Hotel platform. Definitely before this 1906 image at wikipedia

    I love the shadows of the camera and bowler hatted photographer bottom left.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    No Longer Standing, I think. Here is the 6" Cassini map showing the hotel (1930s), and a modern Google maps aerial shot showing quarry sheds here.

    The (railway) company built a hotel at Recess, where King Edward VII and his party lunched in July 1903, during his tour of the congested districts of the West. Over the years the company advertising paid off, and the rich and famous came to Connemara to shoot and fish.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the DIA in 1897: The Recess hotel is now far advanced. The greater part of it had to be taken down and re-built. We are doing the whole work under the superintendence of Mr O'Neill, our own engineer. We have no architect for it, and from what I can learn I think it is going on just as well as if we had an architect.

    The catalogue says "Sea, hills in background, small wooded promontory in middleground, high angle on small jetty, row boats in foreground", but I don't see any sign of tides, I think this is a lake.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The path at left looks suspiciously well laid out and surfaced - we may be in the grounds of a big house or demesne.
  • TJ said:
    is this supposed to be a stereogram (or graph)? Am I allowed to download the pic and convert it into an anaglyph?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
