    On the 25" OSI Map the lower reservoir is already there, but the upper is "in construction. (You have to zoom right in to see them, though.)
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Wikipedia article on the Vartry reservoirs. The lower one was completed between 1863-68, the upper in 1923. The engineer was Parke Neville, the Dublin City and Waterworks Engineer. Plus a 1906 Postcard of the Vartry Reservoir in Stillorgan that this fed into.

    I'd guess from the shadows that it's looking more or less north but I don't see the sugarloaf.

    Fantastic

    derangedlemur I tried wandering around the reservoir on streetview, but eventually gave up. That said, this doesn't look too far off. The Sugarloaf is off to the right left.

    Here is an early history from IT in 1901 - Viscount Gort, Viscount Gough, Loretto Sisters, Famine etc.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    The first Viscount Gough was a Field Marshal in the British Army and was active in both China and India. Among other things, he was the commander of the British Army at Chapoo which was commemorated in an earlier photo: www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/11726154244/in/photolist-...

    We also have a photo apparently of Mr Croker's horse, called 'Mr Boss' in our Poole Imperial photographs, but unfortunately it's not digitised yet.

    FUNERAL OF MR. CROKER: - The funeral of Mr. Richard Croker took place yesterday [May 5, 1922], when the body was buried in the grounds of Glencairn House, Mr. Croker's residence in South County, Dublin. After a Requiem Mass in the private oratory, the burial service was conducted by the Right Rev. Dr. W. J. Miller, Roman Catholic Bishop of Eumenia. The body was clothed in evening dress, and before the coffin was closed Mrs. Croker desired the mourners to look at her husband's face for the last time. The coffin was covered with a pall made of natural violets and evergreen. The pall-bearers were Mr. Arthur Griffith, President of Dail Eireann, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr. A. H. Flauley, of Chicago, Mr. Oliver Gogarty, Alderman Macdonagh, and Mr. J. E. Tierney. Mr. Michael Collins, Chairman of the Provisional Government, was represented by Mr. Kevin O'Shiel From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glencairn_House
