Lough Inagh Lodge. R344 maps.app.goo.gl/NFMBt6XajkkXaZABA

It is difficult to get a 'now' photo of this view because the Lough Inagh Lodge has expanded and planted a garden and many trees. Closest I can find is this from dominicomorain in 2008 Google satellite 3D - www.google.com/maps/place/Lough+Inagh+Lodge/@53.5228846,-...

That boat moored by the road; it must have been a very high tide!

"Lough Inagh Lodge was built on the shores of Lough Inagh in the 1880. It was part of the Martin Estate (Richard “Humanity Dick” Martin of Ballynahinch Castle) as one of its fishing lodges. It was later purchased by Richard Berridge, a London brewer who used the building as a fishing lodge in the 1880’s. It passed through the hands of the Tennent family, and then to Carroll Industries until 1989 it was redeveloped by the O’Connor family back to its’ former glory into a modern bespoke boutique lodge."

I have stayed there a few times, a very nice experience.

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.

The path at left looks suspiciously well laid out and surfaced - we may be in the grounds of a big house or demesne.

is this supposed to be a stereogram (or graph)? Am I allowed to download the pic and convert it into an anaglyph?

TJ Hi TJ, we call it a Stereo Pair, you can download it and convert it, just reference National Library of Ireland in any postings, also note our reference STP_1508, Have a look at our stream there are many more. Thanks, Mary.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons perfect - posted and tagged u in it as well :) dia dhuit!

They are working at the quarry, one has a crowbar. The clothing is protective.

"Lissoughter, Recess, Galway" the catalogue says. Somewhere near here, going by the distant hills? Streetview - goo.gl/maps/cc6YTL1wGoJ2

There is a 'similar item' of a child (crawling over an adult?) with a railway and a wagon to the left as if the line was being built. The Connemara railway opened in 1895 after difficulties, so the 1891 date makes sense. Was Mr Hargrave working on the railway? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000288646 www.historyireland.com/20th-century-contemporary-history/...

beachcomber australia I think that streetview looks good, The 25" map draws a literal blank today, but on the 1930s Cassini 6", this is marked as a Quarry (Marble).

King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra visited in 1903 - via John Spooner. I think a few hundred metres down the hill - I wonder if these lads are in that crowd 11 years on - bet they were!
