    Looks like it's been taken from a 1st or 2nd floor window. There's a garden in the foreground.

    The whole thing must have been very new, ship, pier etc. You can almost see the shiny newness to it all!
  • Swordscookie said:
    Yes, built in 1906 according to Wikipedia: "The village of Rosslare Harbour (Irish: Calafort Ros Láir, meaning "harbour of the middle peninsula") (Yola: Rosslaarè) grew up to serve the needs of the harbour of the same name (now called Rosslare Europort), first developed in 1906 by the Great Western Railway and the Great Southern and Western Railway to accommodate steamferry traffic between Great Britain and Ireland. Rosslare Harbour railway station opened on 30 August 1906".[1] The original village was called Ballygeary and Wiki says: "The village of Ballygeary was divided into two townslands, one known as tin town and the other as straw town. It is believed this was because of the roofs on the houses."

    Is "ROSCLARE" a slip of the quill for Rosslare? The Great God Of Google thinks so ...
  • Fred Dean Snr. said:
    ‘Rosclare’ from the old 13th century spelling means the point or headland of the wooden bridge.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I like this long straight path in the grounds of Rosslare House on the 25". If so, streetview
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley Looks good! And across the road at the house called 'Mervyn', there is another of those finger-pinching gates.
  • O Mac said:
    I like her stile.... type known as a "kissing gate". There's an opening here for those with style..
