    Hello, are you sure that this is in Peterborough, and not in Madoc? It looks very much like the house beside St. Peter's Presbyterian Church in Madoc. Thank you.

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/61428969@N00] Thanks, Brian, the labelling on this item was confusing and this makes much more sense!

    Community Archives You're very welcome. I had also checked the Google street view, just to be sure. I once lived in Madoc, so I was pretty sure that this is the house beside St. Peter's. BTW, I have a photo you might like to add to your collection on Flickr. If you check my photos, you will see one of Bell Telephone operators. It's from around 1949. The photo was published as a "remember when" photo in the Intelligencer in 1971. We were particularly interested because my mother is in the photo. Thanks again.

A little bit misty out there!

    Interesting history of Halloween - it seems we can blame the Celts! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween#History

    This is a scene I'm familiar with - I used to be based in the adjacent parish of Dingle. A distant cousin of mine was curate in Ballyferriter in the 1880s and was very involved in Land League activities in the area. I've asked a friend in Ballyferriter to have a look at the Celtic Cross for me to see if we can narrow down the date. (Not sure if/when he'll get back to me!) The church is dedicated to St Vincent de Paul because of the work of priests from the Vincentian Order who began a Mission in West Kerry in 1840s to counteract the activity of the Anglican Rev. Geyer who was even sucessful in converting Fr Denis Layne Brasbie (Curate in Ballyferriter) to Anglicanism. The work of the Vincentians was largely sucessful in reversing what was then known as 'souperism'. The house (now vanished) built on to the church was the presbytery where the clergy and their staff lived, In 1901 that was Fr John O'Leary PP, his curate Fr Patrick O'Regan, their cook/domestic Mary Ashe and general domestic Patrick Connor. To the best of my knowledge, the presbytery survived into the 1980s or 1990s and was known as having quite poor living conditions. It was replaced by a free-standing presbytery the driveway of which can be seen by rotating the Streetview.
