    The Woodside skating rink at right, and the Mourne hotel in the background. The rink burned down in 1903, see comments at nli below:
    "possibly outside railway station"? No, it's Woodside Skating Rink!

    A glimpse of Glenmore glamping ...
    Perhaps they invented it ?!

    Mike Grimes Mike, did they take over from the hotel or was there another life in-between?
  • John Spooner said:
    On 3rd September 1907 and the four following days, the "complete, elegant and costly appointments of the Glenmore Hotel, Rostrevor" were put up for auction (Newry Reporter - Tuesday 27 August 1907). The owner selling was Mrs O'Leary, and the new owner was a Mr Collen or Collins (the Newry Reporter couldn't make up its mind)

    I wonder if the photo was commissioned as part of the sales literature provided to potential buyers?
    [On reflection, probably not, as the auctioneers R. M. Gray were a Belfast company. Would they commission a Dublin photographer?]

    Edit: But ... the catalogue for the sale had "a capital view of the picturesque mansion on the cover". There were 1200 lots.

    John Spooner I'd say this was just a normal workaday shot for Robert French, roaming photographer. Though people often bought Lawrence prints for their own use/enjoyment...
