    Thinking the white rocks are chalk, I googled photos of "chalk cliffs Ireland". there are some in Portrush in Antrim of which the geology in the Alamy picture that appears near the top looks somewhat similar.

The annual whitewashing, cleaning out of “ashpits, cesspools, etc” was to be carried out as soon as possible after the 1st of April. The cottage also had to be maintained in ship-shape condition as unannounced inspections were regular as well as the annual Commissioners’ inspection.
