    Cataloguer was having a bad day- EAS_1844 next door is titled Beechwood Avenue, Kingstown. Beechwood Avenue is in Ranelagh, near enough to todays shot. Likewise EAS_1841, EAS_1845, and Charleston Road in EAS_1842


    There are a number of Kingstown/Dun Leary shots in the early 1830s which are not digitized, but are probably correct given that they show the harbour. No harbour in Ranelagh/Milltown.


    After this sequence of mis-titled shots, we have the nearby but correctly titled:

    South Dublin Libraries have this VERY similar view, dated "c. 1881".
    Spot the differences (hint: fence)

    Probably the weir below Rathfarnham Bridge, from memory

    beachcomber australia Your photo makes me think it’s the weir below Orwell Rd Bridge (Waldron’s Bridge), although I can’t place either buildings as the GeoHive map viewer won’t open the 25” without a sign in. Anybody else experiencing this?

    O Mac That one looks like the Wesht

    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.

Kimmage House

    A quick map check suggests it is still there, part of the Holy Ghost complex

    AKA ‘Kimmage Manor’
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The NIAH says: Detached L-plan Tudor Revival-style country house, c.1890, comprising three-bay two-storey with attic entrance block having central breakfront, and multiple-bay three-storey section to north. Now in use as missionary college.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    “Kimmage Manor was originally called Kimmage House. Whereas the house itself is situated in the townland of Kimmage, the property on which it stands straddles the Poddle, reaching into the adjacent townland of Perrystown. Known locally as ‘The Manor’, the building was developed from an existing ‘mansion house’, described in the deeds of conveyance when Sir Frederick Shaw, (1799-1876), purchased the lease of the property, which was to become his home from 1829 until he died. It was ‘The House’ of his Crumlin estate. Gardens and other buildings were included in the sale. Shaw tasked Architects Richard and William Morrison with reinventing the house, resulting in its eventual “unique Tudor revival style with triangular gables, spiral turrets and tall chimneys.”
