    I found a reference to "State Express" being manufactured in a factory on the Cashel Road, Dublin, and the roads appear to match in this Google Satellite View.

    Looking on Streetview , at least the office block parts of the buildings at the front seem to be still there, even if the manufacturing part has been obviously altered.

    It looks like it might be this windmill: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,720250,744524,11,7 If so, it appears that the site (and the base of the structure) may have been preserved on a promontory within the quarry: binged.it/2xO0y4W

    Rory Sherlock The Bing bird's eye view is pretty cool, too.

    From the Independent July 1 2005 Feltrim Windmill THE story of the Feltrim windmill is one of the most dramatic in terms of Fingal’s heritage. Had it stood today, it would have matched Skerries for one of the most beautiful sights in the region. All that remains of the structure is part of the interior but even that is striking in its design. It should be noted that the structure is fenced off and on private property. The Feltrim windmill was built in the late 1600s from red Dutch bricks (still there) and by Dutch workers. It was used as a woolen mill to start and then a corn mill for up to 100 years, ending in the great storm of 1839 when the giant sails were blown off. It still stood magnificently for many decades later until 1973 when it was demolished on a Saturday night, ending centuries of dominance of the Feltrim skyline.
