    Someone one way more local will know - but the main road street lamps look vaguely Dublin and that track is very greyhound racing. Is this the old Chapelizod track? I think it was flooded in 1954.
  • Paul McNamara said:
    Could it be Chapelizod Sports stadium, where the industrial estate is now?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    mikeyashworth Per wikipedia on Chapelizod track: The greyhound racing started on 26 December 1949... The greyhound operation continued until around c.1960. The site was demolished and today is the Chapelizod Industrial Estate

    mikeyashworth Well done, it is indeed Chapelizod! The road on the far bank of the Liffey is St. Laurence's Road, and many of the houses are still standing: St. Laurence's Streetview

    mikeyashworth Paul McNamara Niall McAuley You are all very quick out of the blocks this Monday morning. Well done Mikey.

Mackay Post Office taken from the river side, ca. 1880

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    This two-storey building has dominated the River Street location since its construction in 1883. The Mackay Post Office and Telegraph Office was designed in the 1870s, but the first stage was not constructed until 1883 with the adjoining Telegraph Office constructed in 1884. The construction is only two years after the city’s oldest building: The Australian Joint Stock Bank at 63 Victoria Street, constructed in 1881. Thus, the construction of such prominent buildings, both designed by the Colonial Architect, F.D.G. Stanley, demonstrate the growth and importance of the Mackay region in the late 19th century. The government architect, F.D.G. Stanley, was responsible for the design and construction of Queensland post offices from 1872 – 1881, and George Connolly between 1881-1883 and 1885-1891. The place has a strong association with past and present residents of the Mackay region as the primary center for communication, by mail, telegraph, or telephone since 1874 when the site was a postmaster's residence and office. The new buildings were constructed in stages: the left (east) side of the tower is the original post office opening in 1883. The tower and the telegraph office were constructed in 1884. Originally the lower level was post and telegraph services, kitchen and servants while the upper level was the post and telegraph masters residences. The building meets this criterion as a substantial masonry building with remnant classical detailing typical of Government designed buildings of the period. It is a strong feature in the River Street streetscape and is significant as a landmark building in Mackay. Source: www.mackay.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/211347/...

    L_IMP_4448 has a castellated house, and is maybe near Recess if my DejaVuMeter is working correctly.

    I was thinking of Glendollagh, no cigar:

    Niall McAuley It looks like it might be out around Ballinahinch. There are a good few bridges within the estate.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    L_IMP_4449 has the same house a bit further off, and a railway line. Consistent with Ballynahinch.
