The catalogue says "Sea, hills in background, small wooded promontory in middleground, high angle on small jetty, row boats in foreground", but I don't see any sign of tides, I think this is a lake.

The path at left looks suspiciously well laid out and surfaced - we may be in the grounds of a big house or demesne.

is this supposed to be a stereogram (or graph)? Am I allowed to download the pic and convert it into an anaglyph?

TJ Hi TJ, we call it a Stereo Pair, you can download it and convert it, just reference National Library of Ireland in any postings, also note our reference STP_1508, Have a look at our stream there are many more. Thanks, Mary.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons perfect - posted and tagged u in it as well :) dia dhuit!

It's not really of King St. (now O'Rahilly St. - I did find a King St. in Ballina, NSW though...) I think it was taken from somewhere around here (OSI link). You can see the footbridge above.

It seems so unlikely to be a street given the rural surroundings. That looks more like a weir or salmon trap down there than a footbridge. I suspect that the footbridge was a later adaptation of the access!

Swordscookie There's both a "footbridge" and a salmon weir marked on the 25" OSI. But it's a bit unclear as to how the footbridge is supposed to work....

Sharon Corbet It is so long since I was in Ballina that I am having difficulty in orienting myself with the photograph! Here is another shot from a different angle. (I don't know how to simplify the link) catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000332634

Swordscookie Sharon Corbet From the bridge to the start of the weir is the famous "Ridge Pool" the most productive salmon pool in the land. I have fished it before. I would think that all the workings we see in the river are to do with Salmon management and commercial fishing.

Is this Galway or Mayo?

derangedlemur Not here?

The county line is at the head of the Killary, so this is actually Mayo.

derangedlemur Welcome back.

Lough Inagh Lodge. R344 maps.app.goo.gl/NFMBt6XajkkXaZABA

It is difficult to get a 'now' photo of this view because the Lough Inagh Lodge has expanded and planted a garden and many trees. Closest I can find is this from dominicomorain in 2008 Google satellite 3D - www.google.com/maps/place/Lough+Inagh+Lodge/@53.5228846,-...

That boat moored by the road; it must have been a very high tide!

"Lough Inagh Lodge was built on the shores of Lough Inagh in the 1880. It was part of the Martin Estate (Richard “Humanity Dick” Martin of Ballynahinch Castle) as one of its fishing lodges. It was later purchased by Richard Berridge, a London brewer who used the building as a fishing lodge in the 1880’s. It passed through the hands of the Tennent family, and then to Carroll Industries until 1989 it was redeveloped by the O’Connor family back to its’ former glory into a modern bespoke boutique lodge."

I have stayed there a few times, a very nice experience.
