11 July 1962 was a Wednesday. Mr O'Dea liked that winch; it was made in Glasgow in 1844 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000306082

Despite the title, this is not a canal lock, it's the lock at the weir on the Shannon at Athlone.

You can see the very same foreground stonework, water level (in that notch) and metal lock-gate-opening gizmo in my (relatively) recent photo, here:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley Thanks for saving our (my!) blushes there. Have changed description, and in return, can tell you that the gizmo is officially a gate winch... So is that the canal at all?
Niall McAuley said:
No, it's just that lock you can see in the photo above, there's no canal at all. See an aerial view from Google maps linked below, the lock is to the left of the weir: maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&ll=53.422947,-7.939392&...

Niall McAuley Thanks! Obliterated all mention of canal from tags...
Stuart said:
Here's one of the gate winches without it's coverings and a close up of a plate inscription from another. You can see the winch could have been operated by one or two people and it originally used chains. Thomas Rhodes was Chief Engineer on the harbour project, the technical guy in charge.

Looks very familiar! (will think about the date).

Shannon I would think
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebee2012] Keep thinking - all suggestions welcome, though from the width I'm thinking the Shannon just like DannyM8.
Colin said:
I was just going to say it is the Shannon, because those barges with the tall chimneys are Shannon barges, methinks. Could it be Foynes before development? Or is it one of the junctions between the Shannon and one of the canals?
In Memoriam said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/littlebee2012] Maybe you are thinking of Westport Quay? I am not sure that it quite right for it but it is very similar.
