    Wendy: Where are the Sheepdogs?
  • derangedlemur said:
    It looks like Mr Cronin's establishment says College Street above the door, which would make this Killarney (www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?searchM...), but I can't get a Streetview that matches. The Steeple is not inconsistent with it being Killarney, mind you. Is Killarney sheep country?

    O Mac Your link isn't working for me, but the scene above looks very familiar so I assume you've found a previous incarnation.

    It looks so much nicer on the 25" than in streetview. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,488155,660047,7,9 It's all castles (site of, in gothic script) and Moore's Hotel and what have you. You can't tell that it's just a briar patch and a dingy windswept boarding house.

    derangedlemur Everything always looks nicer on the 25"!
  • Stuart said:
    Carol, so right. That poor neglected donkey, not that that ignorant peasant woman would know any different! People like her get to me.
  • guliolopez said:
    I can't imagine the genteel folk riding on that (unfortunately) tatty beast. Given the chains and harness, does it seem more likely that the unfortunate work-horsedonkey was used to move the bathing machines to and fro?

    Cruise's Royal Hotel had an advert in Freeman's July 27 1891, saying it had "A Commercial Room exclusively for Commercial Gentlemen" and "A Ladies' Coffee Room"
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I'm thinking a bit earlier than 1900: no motorcars, no bicycles, no straw boaters...
  • John Spooner said:
    Advert in Freeman's February 18, 1885. Word of the day: "superintendence"
    CRUISE'S ROYAL HOTEL, LIMERICK
    This old-established and well-known Hotel is now under the sole superintendence of the proprietor,and affords every accommodation to commercial gentlemen and tourists. The whole internal arrangements have been remodelled. The sanitary arrangements have been carefully looked after under the superintendence of an eminent engineer.
    Hot, cold, and shower baths.
    Omnibus meets all trains and steamers.
    JAMES FLYNN, Proprietor

    You wouldn't expect cars in 1900 but the lack of bicycles is surprising.
