Kilkee has hardly changed over the years, the line and layout of most of the buildings is still the same,


Dohertys Terrace is on the right while the houses on the left side of the street are in Geraldine Place

Any shots of the Stella Maris in your Clare set, Ray?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons No but the next time im there i will get one!

There is lots of old pictures of Kilkee at the Clare County Library

In this series to date I would think it is fair to say that the original photographs are much better than their latter day cousins. I suppose this could be down to the professionalism of the photographers?, but I feel that the latter day men and women had to deal with a much more cluttered and busy Ireland. For instance the motor cars and the telegraph pole in particular ruin this photograph. Also notice that there has beed extensive rebuilding to the main part of the premises, the chimneys and roof seem to be new as are the bay windows.

Looks like it would have to be the view up the Albet Road: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,488634,659984,12,9

You have outdone yourself with those opening few words. Nothing like a good smile to get the day started. Thanks.

We visited the Stella Maris Hotel in the distance previously, with the flag fluttering in familiar fashion -

beachcomber australia Ah yes! But there were no hairy asses about then!

Bad case of chimney pot gobbling. I see the poster on the coach advertises "Cheap Executions"... Death by donkey??

I love that everyone is still sitting on that wall in 1990!!!
