Can't help with the Palace, but Mr Chas Majiltons's celebrated company performed Geo R. Sims' famous farcical comedy "the Gay City" (which has achieved an Enormous Success throughout the Country) from Sept 11th - 16th 1882 at the New Theatre Royal. (Private Boxes 40s, 30s, 25s and 20s; Balcony Stalls 4s; Upper Circle 2s; Pit 1s; Gallery 6d.) (Belfast Newsletter.) So 'The Trippers' wasn't his first trip to Belfast

Michiel2005 I don't believe it! Younger brother of Harry Houdini - that's excellent.

Robin Parkes Thanks Robin. I've a hunch around 1910, but now we know definitely post-1905.

Surprisingly small number of Mr. S. O'Haras in the 1911 census, just 11, none of them in Poole's stomping grounds. 10 in 1901, likewise. None of them with any sort of palatial occupation.

Paging back in the catalogue, the first dated photo is from October 1900. Forwards, Feb 1901.
Niall McAuley said:
From the catalogue: Note in Poole Index Book: 'Copy'. , so could be much older.

Could this perhaps be some sort of reference to this gentleman being a county lord or something? I’m thinking this could be in Buckingham Palace. Ferry bank is in Wexford town, but I’m not aware of any palaces ever being in Wexford?!

The Bishop’s Palace, Waterford 'The Mall is a beautiful walk, about 200 yards long… facing it stands the Bishop’s Palace, which not only adds a considerable beauty ... the Palace is a fine building of hewn stone, with two fronts, that next to the Mall is beautifully ornamented with a handsome portico.' (Charles Smith’s History, 1746) This exquisite architectural jewel, now a museum, continues to delight over 250 years later, the ground and first floors furnished as a very elegant 18th century townhouse. www.waterfordtreasures.com/bishops-palace

Still standing, but where was the spire (as the actress said to the Bishop!) In 2008 via Eamonn Bolger (Ireland)
beachcomber australia said:
[Aside] I recently found out what the actress might originally have said to the Bishop ... The Bishop of Worcester and Lillie Langtry, the actress, were at one of those country house weekend parties. On Sunday morning, before church, the bishop and the actress went for a stroll in the garden. The bishop cut his finger on the thorn of a rose. Over lunch, Miss Langtry asked the Bishop, "How is your prick?" He replied, "Throbbing," And the butler dropped the potatoes.
