    I used that ferry with my bike one evening many decades ago, and found a B&B in Kilrush.

    22 June 1971 was a Tuesday ... Minor alert! I don't think that is Mr O'Dea's Morris Minor, which was ZU 2716. O Mac will know ...

  • Swordscookie said:
    Interesting that the skyline to the left of the building is almost unchanged whereas that on the right is all changed! The city put in a drainage scheme behind the club and effectively rendered it useless as the flow coming down there now is too powerful for the crews to launch the boats!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    NIAH dates the building to 1902.
  • John Spooner said:
    How appropriate the the gent with his head showing above the hedge is wearing a boater.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Niall McAuley The Shannon Rowing Club says it was only completed in 1905 (and cost £2,000.)

    They are marching to the barracks....on the other side of that bridge.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Lovely!

    The building at top right of this one is the same as the building at top left of this (earlier) one nearby:
    Our first Chimney Sweep?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Spotted your note for the "works" on the bridge. Was it a swing bridge?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The narrow part of the bridge nearest the camera was a lifting section to allow sailing ships past. You can see some cogs in the mechanism at the bottom of the narrow section. This has since been replaced with a wider but uglier flat concrete span visible here:

    Things in 1922 were unchanged since the the GeoHive OS 25" (which has an incorrect survery date of 1888 attached, but is actually after 1905.) The Bank is still there, the Woollen Mills burned down in the 1940s and a Radisson Blu is there now, the Methodist Church is still there but the steeple is gone, and the Post Office is gone too, replaced by a rather ugly Bank building.
