    Glengariff, Co Cork catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000339541 T'was knocked after a fire in late 1940's. Its replacement is a more modest affair. www.google.ie/maps/@51.7593056,-9.5795849,3a,53.2y,153.28...

    The replacement is available as self-catering accommodation, and they have a bit about the history of the lodge on their website. The gate lodge has turned up here before:

    Quite a long exposure by the looks of it. Another auction poster on the church gate. The church has a sort of C of I look about it, which might help narrowing the search down.

    There is a Blackhall a retired Grocer in Mountbellew in 1911 www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Mount_Be...

    I've done a quick streetview of all the Blackall locations form the census and there's nothing like this. It seems to be a church attached to an ecclesiastical ruin of some sort - maybe an abbey or maybe just an older church.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Is the auction poster on the arch legible if you stick the negative into a microfiche reader?

    Seems to be referred to as 'Lady Kenmare's Cottage' in the mid-1800s Ordnance Survey first edition 6" map, but 'Glena Cottage' is also there nearby. Then the name 'Lady Kenmare's Cottage' disappears in the Cassini version of the map, 'Glena Cottage' is switched from one building to the other, and the building formerly referred to as 'Glena Cottage' is then referred to as 'Visitor's Cottage'

    Great blog full of information. Queen Victoria had lunch here in 1861 etc. - davidhicksbook.blogspot.com/2016/03/glena-cottage-kerry-c...

    From above link - "In anticipation of the Royal visit, the cottage had been redecorated with white chintz wall paper with a floral pattern." See megazoom !! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000563979

    Also from the blog is this sad story from 1889, which is probably too late for this particular photo (?) - "Tragedy struck the inhabitants of the cottage in 1889, when a Dr. Finerty rented the cottage from Lord Kenmare. Dr Finerty and his wife, who were married a year previous, had their first child born at Glena. They had a christening party and invited a large number of people to celebrate at the cottage by the lake. A number of young men who attended the party over indulged and left the party by row boat which overturned. Among the five young men drowned, were brothers Joseph and Daniel Riordan who worked in the post office in Killarney."
