    Early today. Where's this - New Ross?
  • derangedlemur said:
    I think perhaps yes: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000590089

    Or Drogheda?
  • Swordscookie said:
    Sharon Corbet I think you have it Sharon! I was looking for a bridge but the nearest one to where the ships were moored is relatively new so I was looking in vain! This would have been taken from the heights near where the railway station is now!
  • derangedlemur said:

    The view is likely taken from the area of the Lower Barrakka Gardens or St Barbara Bastions, looking towards Fort St Elmo and Fort Sant Angelo across the water.

    This is the second posting of this photo. The first one disappeared into the ether somewhere and we reposted to keep it up there. Flickr is sometimes amazing😄

    I agree on the location but is it not a reversed image?
  • Suck Diesel said:
    Irish251 Well spotted, no wonder streetview didn’t match.
